Gyro or Gyros (Greek pronunciation: [ʝiros])
(Greek: γύρος, gyros, literally meaning rotated) is a Greek dish made of meat
cooked with a vertical rotisserie, usually pork, or chicken, and outside Greek
with beef, veal or lamb, and usually served wrapped in rolls like ribbon, with
tomato sauce, onion and tzatziki sauce.
To make gyro, cuts of meat
are placed on a high vertical rotisserie, cone-shaped cone, which is rotated
slowly in front of a heat source, usually an electric grill.
If the meat is not fatty
enough, chunks of fat are added so that the roast beef always stays moist and
crisp. The roasting level can be adjusted by varying the strength of heat and
the distance between heat and meat, allowing the cook to adjust to different
levels of consumption.
The outside of the meat is
sliced vertically in thin and crisp shavings when finished. It is commonly
served in a piece of lightly toast, oiled and rolled with tomato slices,
chopped onion, fries, and tzatziki. Gyro is part of a sandwich family and is
distinguished from other semi-folded foods with its full folding wrapper but
not folded intact at the bottom.
