Gyro meat with sauce is a popular dish originating from Greek cuisine, often enjoyed in Mediterranean diets. The meat, typically a blend of lamb and beef or sometimes chicken, is seasoned with a mixture of herbs and spices like oregano, garlic, and cumin, then cooked on a vertical rotisserie for a unique flavor and tender texture. The accompanying sauce is usually a tangy tzatziki, made from yogurt, cucumbers, garlic, olive oil, and fresh herbs. Gyro meat is rich in protein and flavorful fats, providing energy and satiety, while the yogurt-based sauce adds probiotics, calcium, and refreshing balance. However, gyro meat can be high in sodium and saturated fats, depending on preparation, so portion control is advised for those monitoring heart health. Often served with fresh vegetables, pita, or rice, this dish is a versatile and satisfying choice for meat lovers seeking global flavors.
