How to Make Greek Style Gyros with Grass Fed Lamb Leg Steaks
Flavour packed, nutritious and the perfect way to celebrate one of the most underrated cuts of lamb; leg steaks.
- 2 x 7 Day Dry Aged Grass Fed Lamb Leg Steaks (deboned)
- Rock salt & cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 2 unwaxed lemons – juice and zest
- Handful fresh mint, finely chopped
- Handful fresh dill, finely chopped
- 2 heaped tablespoons thick Greek yoghurt
- 90g Sublime Butter garlic & herb, melted
- 4 cloves Organic garlic, finely chopped
- 1 large cucumber, grated and squeezed
- 3 cloves Organic garlic, finely minced
- 500g thick Greek yoghurt – strained
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 60ml extra virgin olive oil
- Rock salt & cracked black pepper
Salad Garnish
- 2 x Large Organic Isle of Wight heirloom tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 x Large red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cucumber, cut into small chunks
- Begin by removing your meat from the fridge for around one hour before starting, allowing it to reach room temp
- Quarter each lamb steak, season generously and add to a large bowl with the remaining marinade ingredients, mixing with your hands until each piece of meat is well coated
- Heat a griddle pan to a high, smoking heat and griddle each lamb steak until sealed on the outside and blushing in the centre - this should take around 2-3 minutes on each side
- Remove the meat from the pan and leave on a wooden board wrapped in tin foil for 5 minutes, allowing the lamb to rest
- Meanwhile, mix the tzatziki ingredients in a small bowl and refrigerate - then toast some pitta bread in the residual heat of the griddle pan
- Slice the lamb into thin kebab-like strips and assemble into the toasted pittas, finishing with homemade tzatziki, salad and a wedge of lemon
