About this Recipe
With Brava you can easily make classic Greek gyros at home. Thin slices of ribeye are first marinated in a blend of onion and herbs and are then seared off in the Brava to give them the classic taste and texture of roasting the meat on a vertical rotisserie. Feel free to make the tzatziki sauce recipe below or simply use a premade tzatziki.
