I've made it a few times now. Comes out really good. ..

Minced onion, seasonings, Greek yogurt and ground meat rolled out as thin as possible in parchment paper then rolled up then baked. It's really really good.

It's really good. Works with ground chicken too. In indy around with spices and levels of onion and garlic. Also you should make Tziki sauce and white garlic sauce with it.

Last night I made a halal style bowl (what they call it in NY, it wasn't halal meat). Beef , rice, lettuce cucumber, pomegranate, cashew topped with red and white sauce. I basically combined the rice Bowl from kG bbq and the rice bowl from Halal Guys.
Was so good. I just made it up as I went along.

Yep. It's a decent hack.

I've also adapted it for cheese steaks & carne asada.

Makes a decent sandwich and excellent tacos.

My husband makes an excellent tzatziki sauce bc he makes spectacular falafel.

I can’t wait to try this, though!!

Your bowl looks great!

IMO it's better to emulsify the ground meat (chuck and lamb) in a food processor for gyro meat. I have not tried this hack yet, I usually form a square and smoke it.

I did do it one time in my robo coupe I did my onions in it and mixed it with the garlic. The texture was closer to gyro that time. But I haven't used lamb.

There's a restaurant that opened here in Milwaukee recently called , shockingly, Doner Kebab that specializes in it. I ate there recently and it's really good

Most restaurants use a vertical rotisserie that's the best way to make it. This method let's you get a similar texture with ground meat.

I've done chicken or been shawarma, but I just put the marinated chicken thighs or cuts of beef on the rotisserie in the air fryer at the highest heat. After it's browned on the outside, I pause the rotisserie and thinly slice meat off around the edge onto a tray below it. Then I turn the rotisserie back on and let the next layer brown.

Rolling ground meat up in parchment paper and baking it doesn't seem like it would turn out as good. The outside is going to be much more well done than the inside of the roll. And it doesn't seem like you'll get much browning effect either. I do see that there is some browning in the video, but again, that would only be on the outside of the roll.

I also don't usually see ground meat use in shawarma. Gyro uses minced meat.

German Doner Kebabs are the best secret in food. Maybe one of the best things I’ve ever eaten.

I make it a bit differently. Same meat, but make it into a big meatloaf. Bake it or smoke it till its done then put in fridge. Once it hardens up good slice thin and you have your thin slices. When I want to eat I just sear them in a pan to brown/crisp them up.

Tried it last night. Fantastic! Added cinnamon and used thai fish sauce instead of tomato paste. Made a Tzatziki and quick pickled some red onion.

Wife has made this several times with beef and chicken.

I always call it “cannibal kabob”.
