Grilled Gyro Kebabs On The Big Green Egg Barbecue Grill & Smoker

Recently we had a taste for a Gyro style kebabs but did not want to go out for it. I decided to make the Gyro style kebabs myself, but had never made them before and did not really have a recipe.

Fortunately, they were amazing and pretty easy to make. The key was to have kebab skewers which were flat and to press the meat on the kebab while it was very cold prior to cooking.

Recipe:

1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 pound ground lamb
1/2 sweet onion minced
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup parsley chopped
10 Kalamata olives minced
2 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp garlic powder
2 tbsp greek seasoning

Mix egg well and then combine all raw ingredients and spices with egg. Mix meat, egg, and spices with your hands until well incorporated. Allow to rest in the refrigerator for two hours or up to overnight.

Prepare grill for raised direct cooking at about 400F.

Pat about 1/2 cup of meat onto each skewer working quickly, and applying in an even thickness. Do not use too much meat or it can fall from skewer in cooking.

Roast over raised direct heat using hardwood lump charcoal if possible turning occasionally for 10-14 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness and an internal temperature of 165F.

I use fire bricks on top of my grill grate to keep the meat elevated and prevent it from sticking to the grill.

Serve with warmed pita bread or as we did here with a greek style salad.

Enjoy-
