A clever home-style take on the classic Greek gyro that uses a 'sloppy joe' method with ground lamb to achieve those delicious crispy, browned bits without a rotisserie. It is packed with Mediterranean herbs and topped with a fresh, homemade tzatziki sauce for a perfect balance of flavors.
Prepare the tzatziki sauce base by grating one whole cucumber using a box grater.
Squeeze the grated cucumber firmly with your hands (or cheesecloth) over the sink to remove as much water as possible.
In a mixing bowl, combine the strained cucumber with 10 oz of plain Greek yogurt.
Add minced or grated garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, and salt to the yogurt mixture. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste, then let it sit.
Peel a red onion; thinly slice one quarter for the garnish and finely chop the remaining three quarters.
Removing excess water from the cucumber is essential for a thick, creamy sauce that doesn't become watery.
Using a wide pan allows moisture to evaporate quickly, which is necessary to brown the ground meat effectively.
Do not drain the lamb fat; it contains the concentrated lamb flavor that makes the dish authentic.
Allowing the tzatziki to sit before serving helps the raw garlic flavor mellow and distribute evenly.
The ketchup is used sparingly to add 'gloss' and a hint of sweetness, helping the meat mixture bind together like a Sloppy Joe.
