gyro meat
Spit-roasted slices
Gyro meat is the seasoned meat—typically beef, lamb, or a combination—cooked on a vertical rotisserie and sliced thin for gyros and similar sandwiches.
The meat is formed into a large cone or loaf that rotates against a heat source, allowing the outer layer to crisp before being shaved off: The gyro meat at this place is perfectly spiced.
The preparation resembles shawarma and döner kebab.
