4 cloves garlic, grated or minced
2 tsp salt (or to taste)
2 tsp pepper
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried rosemary

Steps:
Place everything into a food processor and process until mixed. The meat will be sticky.
Place the meat into a loaf pan or form a loaf shape on a baking sheet.
Bake in a preheated 350°F (180°C) oven until it reaches 160°F, about 50–60 minutes.

Slice the meat thinly, optionally frying the slices until crispy.
Assemble the gyros with the pitas and toppings.
Enjoy!
