Ingredients:
- 1 lb pork shoulder, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4-6 pita bread rounds
- Tzatziki sauce, for serving
- Sliced tomatoes, onions, and lettuce, for garnish
Instructions:
- Marinate the Pork: In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, paprika, ground cumin, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Add the thinly sliced pork shoulder to the marinade, ensuring it’s well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you don’t have a grill, a grill pan or skillet will suffice.
- Grill the Pork: Once the grill is hot, remove the marinated pork from the refrigerator. Thread the pork slices onto skewers or simply place them directly onto the grill grates. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the pork is cooked through and has a nicely charred exterior.
- Assemble the Gyros: Warm the pita bread rounds on the grill for a minute or so on each side. Remove from heat and place them on a clean surface. Divide the grilled pork among the pita bread rounds. Top with tzatziki sauce, sliced tomatoes, onions, and lettuce.
- Serve and Enjoy: Roll up the pita bread around the filling, securing it with foil or parchment paper if necessary. Serve immediately and savor every delicious bite of your homemade Pork Gyros.
Tips for Success:
- For extra flavor, consider marinating the pork overnight for maximum tenderness and taste.
- Don’t skimp on the tzatziki sauce—it adds a creamy and refreshing element to the gyros.
- Feel free to customize your gyros with additional toppings such as feta cheese, kalamata olives, or pickled peppers.
