Ingredients

• 500 grams ground beef
• 1 small onion
• 3 units garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons almond flour
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 6 units romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 cup sliced cucumber
• 1 cup sliced tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Chop the onion finely and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, black pepper, chopped fresh parsley, and almond flour. Mix everything thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 4

Transfer the beef mixture to a greased loaf pan and press it down firmly to ensure it holds its shape while cooking.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the beef is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the beef loaf from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This will make it easier to slice without crumbling.

Step 7

While the beef is resting, prepare your toppings. Rinse and dry the romaine lettuce leaves, and slice the cucumber and tomatoes.

Step 8

Once the beef has rested, slice it thinly into strips.

Step 9

To assemble the gyros, take a romaine lettuce leaf and fill it with a few slices of beef, some cucumber, and tomatoes. Drizzle with Tzatziki sauce to taste.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb beef gyros!
