📝 Instructions

11 steps
1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

2

In a food processor, add the finely chopped onion and garlic. Pulse until they are finely minced.

3

Add the ground beef to a large mixing bowl. Add the minced onion and garlic mixture, dried oregano, ground cumin, sweet paprika, ground cinnamon, salt, black pepper, red wine vinegar, and olive oil.

4

Mix everything thoroughly using your hands until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is uniform.

5

Transfer the beef mixture into a loaf pan. Press the mixture down firmly to ensure there are no air pockets and the loaf is tightly packed.

6

Place the loaf pan in a water bath by setting it inside a larger baking dish filled halfway with water. This will help the meat cook evenly.

7

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 60 minutes or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 165°F (74°C).

8

Once cooked, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes.

9

Carefully remove the meat loaf from the pan and transfer it to a cutting board.

10

Slice the beef gyro meat into thin strips before serving.

11

Serve the beef gyro with your choice of Paleo-friendly accompaniments, such as lettuce wraps, cucumber slices, or a homemade Paleo tzatziki sauce.
