Process the chopped red onion in a food processor until it's finely minced. Transfer the onion to a piece of cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for achieving the right texture. (10 minutes)
03 Step

Return the squeezed onion to the food processor. Add the minced garlic and process until well combined. Then, blend in the dried marjoram, ground dried rosemary, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. (5 minutes)
04 Step

Gradually incorporate the ground beef and ground lamb into the onion and seasoning mixture. Add small amounts of each meat alternately, processing until each addition is fully incorporated before adding the next. This ensures a uniform blend of flavors. (15 minutes)
05 Step

Firmly pack the meat mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan, making sure to eliminate any air pockets. Press down firmly to create a dense, even loaf. (5 minutes)
06 Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the meat is no longer pink in the center and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers at least 175 degrees F (80 degrees C), approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. (75 minutes)

Once cooked, carefully drain any excess grease from the loaf pan. Allow the meat to cool slightly before thinly slicing and serving. (10 minutes)
For an even more authentic flavor, try adding a pinch of dried oregano to the meat mixture.
Don't skip the step of squeezing the moisture out of the red onion – it makes a big difference in the final texture of the gyros meat.
Serve your gyros on warm pita bread with your favorite toppings: crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, creamy tzatziki sauce, and crumbled feta cheese.
