Hi, thanks for watching the vid! No, this is not an "authentic" gyro sandwich, and I certainly did not present it as such. This is a mash-up of a Greek-American-restaurant-style gyro and a sloppy joe sandwich. If you wanted to get something closer to a real Greek-American-restaurant-style gyro without buying a vertical broiler and keeping it running all day, I'd suggest buying (or making) a gyro loaf, cooking it in the oven until solid, resting it, shaving it into thin strips, then laying those strips onto a sheet pan in a single layer and browning them under the broiler. No, people in Greece don't pronounce "gyro" the way I do. The way I pronounced it here is a very common American pronunciation. I go to lots of American gyro joints and I can't remember the last time I heard it pronounced any other way, though no doubt it is. I'm sure if I'd said it some other way, people would still be mad. BTW, the way I pronounce "cumin" is very common as well: www.dictionary.com/browse/cumin?s=t. No, I don't hate Alton Brown. I think he's the best. He's a transformational figure in American cooking and cooking media. I try to improve upon ideas he gave me, which is how we honor the legacy of those who came before us.
I make gyros at home all the time, The key is to forget about the rotisserie, cook it like a meatloaf, and then carve it and pan fry to get the crust. I would do it a lot in college because I could just take that hunk of meat and put it in my fridge and then when I wanted to eat it throughout the week I would carve off pieces and reheat them in the pan
@@chelseet11 I got the ingredients for the idea last night and had tried it if you can get your hands on lamb get it but just beef is fine I followed alton browns recipe!!!!
Dear Mr Costa, you are right on the money. I have watched many a shop gyros slowly turning and cooking, then carved off and refried on the grill before i get to eat it's deliciousness. You have created the home cook version. 🤝
@The Unnamed Cousin I mean, yea it's definitely losing popularity but the accent exists, I'm not from new york but when I visit, it's generally the older people who have the thick accents. Also it may have to do with where you live in New York. It's so diverse and so many different communities and cultures. I'm pretty sure if you go to the place with the Italians you'll hear the famed accent
@@yahyashaikh7151 just a quick question, were you talking about the phrase “good enuff for me” or the dish made “gyro”?(which is pronounced ero(emphasize on the e))
As a Greek, I say the best tzatziki shold have enough garlic to be characterised as a chemical weapon. It is not for the faint hearted - but good for your heart though.
I'm not Greek, but am Italian (by heritage, I'm Italian American)... and yes, I concur. But, Italian Americans seem to like garlic more than actual Italians, so... eh.
Adam, just a tip on getting liquid out of the cucumber. Salt it. A few pinches of salt and then let it rest for a few minutes before squeezing. You will get a lot more water out, and you will season the sauce at the same time!
In Greece we never use lamb for our ''γύρο'' ,it's mostly pork and sometimes chicken.I've had donner abroad though and it's really good.Lamb gyros is a middle eastern thing cause they don't eat pork.
Add to that the bread he used, the incorrect steps for tzatziki preparation, and the fact that theres no chips. Also, isn't mint in tzatziki a cypriot thing?
@@Ali_Ya_Ali nah. The wine is for the acidity wich gets neutralized in the cooking process. Same goes for the ketchup. You wouldn’t want to salt your sweet cake either but there is salt involved in the cooking process. I know that that’s a bit different but just to get the point across.
@@Ali_Ya_Ali tomato paste, vinegar and a bit of sugar seems alright ig? Its k to judge people who slather their food with ketchup but to hate it completely is kinda rough
@@linkinlinkinlinkin654 yeah, it as an ingredient can be nice and convinient if used in moderation , I see the "one ingredient starts to get hated becasue of overuse" which is fair for the purposes of when it's overused but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater, an ingredient can still be good for some things despite you not liking it for the typical use case
*don't forget to let your milk marinade in white wine for a year, this way you're gonna get a much saucier, sweeter flavour with a lot of depth, and I think that's the heart of cereal

generic username Do you ways wear a white v-neck with chest hair poking out? I kid, I kid. I used to go to this “Greek” place in LA and they used to serve this garlic spread.

Just wanted to let you know Adam, this recipe inspired me to make a gyro-spiced lamb smash burger and it's probably my favourite at-home version of this sandwich. Thanks for your part in its creation!
150% of the comment section: "Why isn't he de-glazing the dish with white wine?" The Rest of existence: "Cool recipe bro" All of Greece: *Y E E- R O H*
I will always say yeero (the e should be said in your throat). It is how my school friend (who’s parents ran a Greek restaurant) spent like 10 minutes teaching me to pronounce it. It has been like 25 years but I still remember the conversation.
I love how accessible all your cooking is. It perfectly balances scratching the itch to cook for those of us who love it with the realities of home cooking.
As a Greek I now know how Italians feel when people change their traditional recipes , kind of weird but cool seeing how people put their own twists ,usually brought up by their cultures, to traditional foods. Nice Video non the less Adam , keep it up!
I was wondering how long it would take for the pronunciation to be butchered and it was under 2 seconds, a new world record! I have many pet peeves and people not knowing how to say gyro is up there. Now if you will excuse me... *Crying in the shower will my shorts still on, eating a gyro*
I went to Greece on a family holiday and it was the first time I tried Tzatziki. It was so good. Had it with every meal. Bread, Veg, Meat it was amazing with everything
When me and my dad make the sauce u were making (we’re middle eastern) we just put yogurt which is usually home made, cocombers, garlic, and some lemon. We make it very strong on garlic Edit: not saying ur recipe is bad it just reminds me of the times me and my dad ate this together, it was really good!
@@phimtown its Turkish Arabic and Greek at the same time. In Europe everyone know this dish as the Döner Kebab a Turkish dish. I was surprised Americans are more familiar with gyro or shawarma.
Finally got around to trying this since I had the house to myself, and I can say this has become one of my favorite dishes like ever. I can never have this around my traditional as hell Greek family because they’d give me hell, but it’s just so easy and so delicious. I highly recommend this!
Adam, I like to make Gyros the day after I make a leg of lamb roast. leftover lamb shaved into thin strips and quickly seared in a cast iron is the closest thing to the beautiful bits of browned meat from a kabab place that i can make at home. other than the meat, i do a very similar process for the rest. Love it!
Alexander L gyros are not really defined, you can use different kinds of meat, and people often do. It also does not matter as much, as say, eating a steak, because spiced browned thin meat tastes more similar (and quite delicious) to other kinds of meat.
So Adam will probably never read this but I made this and it has changed my like. Even used it to make gyro crunchwraps it is sooooo good. Thank you Adam!
Hi Adam, I really love your content! I like how you dispel certain myths that seem to have built up over time in your videos. Could you do a vid to separate myth from reality with common egg making 'dos and donts' like whether or not seasoning before ruins scrambled eggs or if you should add anything to them like milk etc.; whether you need vinegar when poaching an egg? Also correct timing for boiled eggs would be good.. Also, an idea could be to explore why north America vs Britain have different preferences for things like 'over easy' (a concept utterly foreign to me as a brit) etc. Thanks!
Welp, geero is pretty close to how it's actually called (yeero) instead of GYRO that probably everytime a tourist says it some Greek old lady gets a heart attack and a child eternal depression 😂For the Greeks its basically the same thing as breaking pasta in half in front of an Italian.
I just made this! It was really good! I love the sloppy joe idea. I moved to a place that has no gyro places in an hour radius, and have been craving them for a while! I would say this sandwich is good. But it did not quite scratch my gyro itch. I was trying to figure out what is missing, and after I finished my sandwich I realized FETA!!! Adam, I feel like Feta is as much of a part of gyro as the sauce and meat. I am surprised you didn't add it. I am also craving some lettuce or something in it. Good thing this makes so much so I can add those things on the next one tomorrow! I also which I have some pita bread, because I feel like that was also part of why I don't feel like it scratched my gyro itch. Thanks so much for this very creative, approach which is quite quick as well! Keep up the great work! I love your stuff. You got me into making homemade pasta! I always felt like I needed special equipment to do it, so I never looked into it. Thanks man!
For tzatziki what you want to do is put in the whole fat yogurt, cucumber (strained), salt and garlic, then stir and add in olive oil until its barely smooth, then stir in red wine vinegar until it's a little loose. Obviously like you say its totally up to the cook, but my aunt in Greece taught me to make it like that and it's by far the best I've had. Also double the garlic (for more authentic) but if it sits, it'll be very strong
I just made this tonight & I think I used a little too much white wine.. I’ve never cooked with white wine before. But it turned out so amazing. I love this channel so much. Keep up the good work Adam!!
meanwhile, in the mirror universe: "The "perpetual rotisserie" method is a creative way to get all the meat brown, but it's applicable to far fewer situations than the traditional method. Long live the Empire."
Ragusea : Let's google map of Provence to show them where those herbs are from. Wikipedia : Here is a map of France in 1789, with an inclave from the Papal state and a missing Savoy.
When doing shawarma at home (im middle eastern) we usually chop a fatty cut of meat into "noodles" then stir fry in a wok to cook, they then move onto a wire rack over a grill to get the browning then they go into the sandwich. Tomatoes, lettuce, parsley, pickles and tarator sauce go in and you've got the perfect sandwich
1:39 my Balkan ass watching you put only one garlic clove thinking: *"Wait what?! Less than 3 cloves?! How am I even supposed to tell there is garlic in this?!!!"*
I've made the food processor version to street style gyros. I'm going to try this tonight because it looks like you've achieved the same taste, without the mess. I'm using soft tacos for the bread
I like how Adam shows how you can easily do this at home. And scripts it as if he just doesn't have something. Even if its true. He could easily go to the store. But he shows us how you can easily use things just sitting in your pantry and substitute for fresh if you have the time. While others might not even tell you that you can substitute.
@@MrPanos2000 person in the states here and I've been eating something similar to what he's calling a gyro for years and to my knowledge it's always been called that here. Though there was one time I went to canada and I ate something that was called a döner that had the same flavors that left me completely confused.
@@whatno5090 I bet dozens of people thought the same thing. And I didn't know * around words made them bold until you so kindly pointed out. Thanks for the attention, though?
Here in Mexico we eat something similar called "Tacos al Pastor", but if you're in Puebla, Mexico, you can also try Tacos Arabes that quite more similar to Gyro
I love Adam but he is nowhere near as professional as Andrew. Both of them are home cooks but Andrew has been in the game for so long he pretty much cooks like a master chef
Τhis ain't gyros, but I do admire your creativity. Gyros is more traditionally made with pork rather than lamb, so maybe that'll help. Also, ya gotta have french fries in there! Nice one Adam.

I will always say yeero (the e should be said in your throat). It is how my school friend (who’s parents ran a Greek restaurant) spent like 10 minutes teaching me to pronounce it. It has been like 25 years but I still remember the conversation.
I love how accessible all your cooking is. It perfectly balances scratching the itch to cook for those of us who love it with the realities of home cooking.

As a Greek I now know how Italians feel when people change their traditional recipes , kind of weird but cool seeing how people put their own twists ,usually brought up by their cultures, to traditional foods. Nice Video non the less Adam , keep it up!
It's pronounced YEE-ro
-sincerely all greeks
THERE ARE DOZENS OF US...DOZENS!
looks like a kebab to me
I was wondering how long it would take for the pronunciation to be butchered and it was under 2 seconds, a new world record! I have many pet peeves and people not knowing how to say gyro is up there. Now if you will excuse me...

To make it easy for none Greeks and what gets close enough is to tell them to pronounce it euro
I went to Greece on a family holiday and it was the first time I tried Tzatziki. It was so good. Had it with every meal. Bread, Veg, Meat it was amazing with everything
I need a gyro 🎶 I'm holding out for a gyro 'till the morning light.
hes gotta be strong and hes gotta be fast
Jajajajaja, that was a good one.
When me and my dad make the sauce u were making (we’re middle eastern) we just put yogurt which is usually home made, cocombers, garlic, and some lemon. We make it very strong on garlic
Edit: not saying ur recipe is bad it just reminds me of the times me and my dad ate this together, it was really good!
are you an arab?
@@oali2478 I thought it was greek? Like, the recipe.
@@phimtown its pretty common throughout Arabian countries, tho i think it originated in Greece. We call it shewerma
@@phimtown Arabic shawarma is just the meat with ketchup and french fries.
@@phimtown its Turkish Arabic and Greek at the same time. In Europe everyone know this dish as the Döner Kebab a Turkish dish. I was surprised Americans are more familiar with gyro or shawarma.
Finally got around to trying this since I had the house to myself, and I can say this has become one of my favorite dishes like ever. I can never have this around my traditional as hell Greek family because they’d give me hell, but it’s just so easy and so delicious. I highly recommend this!
Adam “GEAR - O” Ragusea
that's how its pronounced- yeero to be exact
I'm just glad he didn't say JAI-ROWS
That's pronounced correctly.
Adam, I like to make Gyros the day after I make a leg of lamb roast. leftover lamb shaved into thin strips and quickly seared in a cast iron is the closest thing to the beautiful bits of browned meat from a kabab place that i can make at home. other than the meat, i do a very similar process for the rest. Love it!
Gyros is pork
Alexander L gyros are not really defined, you can use different kinds of meat, and people often do. It also does not matter as much, as say, eating a steak, because spiced browned thin meat tastes more similar (and quite delicious) to other kinds of meat.
@@alexanderl4333 most Gyros I've had have been lamb or a mix of lamb and beef. but a pork one sounds good too!
@@JackDelfino1 but the traditional is pork i think
Τhe most common version is pork and sometimes chicken. Greeks don't call this gyros but doner.
So Adam will probably never read this but I made this and it has changed my like.
Even used it to make gyro crunchwraps it is sooooo good.
Thank you Adam!
adam : one clove of garlic is enogh for me
me after 2 heads of garlic : HMMMM I need more
Not4K lastname I’m sorry, *HEADS?*
The traditional recipe calls for a truck load of garlic.
Raw unchopped garlic straight unto the bowl.
only 2 heads? amateur numbers
This quarantine got me makin all these recipes lol
Chaotic energy during the garlic prep 🧄😳
Turkish and greek people watching this:
_"Look how he massacred my boy."_
I think Gyros are greek. And Swharma/Donner Kebab is more Turkish
Gyros is Greek
tsolia boy tell em
He often cooks Italian food, he must be used to people being angry about his recipes

This is the kind of comment i was looking for, now my soul has been recovered
I made these with the pickled onions from his black bean recipe and piled it all in a wrap. Super super good!
Hi Adam, I really love your content! I like how you dispel certain myths that seem to have built up over time in your videos. Could you do a vid to separate myth from reality with common egg making 'dos and donts' like whether or not seasoning before ruins scrambled eggs or if you should add anything to them like milk etc.; whether you need vinegar when poaching an egg? Also correct timing for boiled eggs would be good..
Also, an idea could be to explore why north America vs Britain have different preferences for things like 'over easy' (a concept utterly foreign to me as a brit) etc. Thanks!
Adam: here's how to make gyro
Me: ok *watches*
Him: "gee-ro"
Me: *has left the chat*
If I didn't love him I would have left.
Jacob Leavey it’s YEE RO! this video kills me 😂
Geero also makes me cringe, but I still like his videos
Welp, geero is pretty close to how it's actually called (yeero) instead of GYRO that probably everytime a tourist says it some Greek old lady gets a heart attack and a child eternal depression 😂For the Greeks its basically the same thing as breaking pasta in half in front of an Italian.
It's pronounced jyro like you're saying juice
Great stuff.
After watching it, I made real gyros out of boneless chicken thighs on skewers in the oven. Turned out great.
I just made this! It was really good! I love the sloppy joe idea. I moved to a place that has no gyro places in an hour radius, and have been craving them for a while!
I would say this sandwich is good. But it did not quite scratch my gyro itch. I
was trying to figure out what is missing, and after I finished my sandwich I realized FETA!!!
Adam, I feel like Feta is as much of a part of gyro as the sauce and meat. I am surprised you didn't add it. I am also craving some lettuce or something in it. Good thing this makes so much so I can add those things on the next one tomorrow!
I also which I have some pita bread, because I feel like that was also part of why I don't feel like it scratched my gyro itch.
Thanks so much for this very creative, approach which is quite quick as well!
Keep up the great work! I love your stuff. You got me into making homemade pasta! I always felt like I needed special equipment to do it, so I never looked into it. Thanks man!
Theres no feta in Gyros
Interesting. I’ve actually never put feta on a gyro
@@SunShine-ec1lg Well when people put feta on a gyro that means there's feta in a gyro
@@visassess8607 yeah well, they don't really do that in Greece
@@SunShine-ec1lg Yeah well, they do do that in America.
Hold up, YOU CAN PEEL GARLIC BY ROLLING!!! This has just made a bunch of my cooking far easier, THANK YOU. Damn, I'm subscribing.
For tzatziki what you want to do is put in the whole fat yogurt, cucumber (strained), salt and garlic, then stir and add in olive oil until its barely smooth, then stir in red wine vinegar until it's a little loose.
Obviously like you say its totally up to the cook, but my aunt in Greece taught me to make it like that and it's by far the best I've had.
Also double the garlic (for more authentic) but if it sits, it'll be very strong
I love how you do everything different from other people. “Normally people cut up the garlic but I prefer to brutally smash it with a club”
My favorite part "Blame you not me, you can just add little bits of things until you like it" Best advice. :)
I made this for my family. They loved it, even though I made a few big mistakes in the process. Failproof recipe, 100% recommend
“Why I butcher the gastronomic dictionary, and not my own meat”.

You’re amazing. Thanks so much for teaching practical cooking.
We made these the other night and they were fantastic!! We added feta cheese and lettuce to ours and we will def be making them again.
“A little olive oil” I think your Marco Pierre White is coming out, Adam-

meanwhile, in the mirror universe:
"The "perpetual rotisserie" method is a creative way to get all the meat brown, but it's applicable to far fewer situations than the traditional method. Long live the Empire."
Ragusea : Let's google map of Provence to show them where those herbs are from.
Wikipedia : Here is a map of France in 1789, with an inclave from the Papal state and a missing Savoy.
Ah yes ! Italy is not even there !
When doing shawarma at home (im middle eastern) we usually chop a fatty cut of meat into "noodles" then stir fry in a wok to cook, they then move onto a wire rack over a grill to get the browning then they go into the sandwich. Tomatoes, lettuce, parsley, pickles and tarator sauce go in and you've got the perfect sandwich

I like how Adam shows how you can easily do this at home. And scripts it as if he just doesn't have something. Even if its true. He could easily go to the store. But he shows us how you can easily use things just sitting in your pantry and substitute for fresh if you have the time. While others might not even tell you that you can substitute.
Well, Gyros in the US seems to be something like a Döner Kebap, at least something entirely different than what we're used to here in Europe.
What he made isnt even gyros.
@@MrPanos2000 ακριβώς αυτό λέω και εγώ
@@MrPanos2000, correct, what he made was a "sloppy gyro", a recipe he invented, with the flavors inspired by a a gyro. That's why that's what he said.
@@notahotshot what he made is döner, a different dish. He should have called it sloppy döner to avoid confusion
@@MrPanos2000 person in the states here and I've been eating something similar to what he's calling a gyro for years and to my knowledge it's always been called that here. Though there was one time I went to canada and I ate something that was called a döner that had the same flavors that left me completely confused.
*hears it pronounced "gear-o" and immediately pauses to go to the comments*
That's gyro pronounced correctly, the man who can pronounce every word in the dictionary also pronounces it that way.
@@fapaisszy5277 The word is Greek and pronounced "yee-ro"
@@josesphaturaya488 if you absolutely have to be pedantic (you don't), it's
/ˈʝiɾo/. That's not a sound in English, so pronounce it how you prefer.
you copied this comment, and then put it in bold because you want more attention
@@whatno5090 I bet dozens of people thought the same thing. And I didn't know * around words made them bold until you so kindly pointed out. Thanks for the attention, though?
Here in Mexico we eat something similar called "Tacos al Pastor", but if you're in Puebla, Mexico, you can also try Tacos Arabes that quite more similar to Gyro
Imagine adam vs binging with babish. That would be a battle of the ages
No, not really.
I love Adam but he is nowhere near as professional as Andrew. Both of them are home cooks but Andrew has been in the game for so long he pretty much cooks like a master chef
I rather compare with kenji Lopez, as he has a more scientific approach to things
Provence was literally a Greek colony in the Classical Age, just search up Massilia
You can also make the beef and lame roast, cook it similar to a meatloaf, and pan fry slices just enough to brown to serve.
kudos, thats how my yiayia makes tzatziki
Dude he used way too much lemon. No yiayia does that. Ok maybe a little but not that much
Mad respect to my mother who made tzatziki like this always. Hers' is still the best one I've ever had
I made this. It’s so good!! Thank you. I love gyros and don’t have an easy place to get them frequently.
Hey guys I’m Greek and I can confirm that it is pronounced “YEE-ROS”

Absolutely right
Panagiotis Athanasiou yes of course it’s made out of pork and chicken if you want a “healthier” option 😂
@@2002alexandros No shit he spent the whole first half of the video explaining why he doesnt make the strip style at home
Τhis ain't gyros, but I do admire your creativity. Gyros is more traditionally made with pork rather than lamb, so maybe that'll help.
Also, ya gotta have french fries in there! Nice one Adam.
Nah gryos have also had lamb mixture but there's other meats they use too
We made this for dinner this weekend. It was amazing. Thank you Adam!
