Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Put the garlic cloves in a food processor and pulse until very finely chopped.
3. Add the onion and blend until smooth.
4. Add the ground beef and all the spices, and pulse until the mixture forms a paste, scraping down the sides between pulses.
5. Press the mixture firmly into a loaf pan.
6. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
7. Cool the pan completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
8. Turn the loaf out onto a cutting board and slice it thinly with a sharp serrated knife. Save the pan juices and gelled fat and pour them over the slices.
9. Freeze the slices in a freezer-safe bag if you want to keep them for later.
10. Brown the gyro slices on both sides in a cast iron pan over medium heat.
11. Warm the pita slightly and fill with lettuce, onion, tomato, the gyro slices, tzatziki and crumbled feta. Serve right away.
