Ingredients

• 2 pounds Grass-fed ground beef
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 3 finely minced Garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground allspice
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

Step 2

In a food processor, add the finely chopped onion and finely minced garlic, and pulse until they become a smooth paste.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with the onion-garlic paste, ensuring it is well incorporated.

Step 4

Add the ground cumin, oregano, coriander, thyme, allspice, cinnamon, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the beef mixture. Mix thoroughly until all spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.

Step 5

Grease a loaf pan lightly with extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Transfer the beef mixture into the greased loaf pan and press down firmly, smoothing out the top to ensure the mixture is compact.

Step 7

Cover the loaf pan with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.

Step 8

Bake for about 45-50 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the top is slightly browned.

Step 9

Once cooked, allow the gyro meat to cool slightly before slicing into thin strips.

Step 10

Serve your Whole30 Authentic Beef Gyro meat alongside a fresh salad or Whole30 compliant sauces and enjoy!
