You can also serve the pork tenderloin pink.
Therefore, I fry the meat without fat or with very little fat at very high heat.
This comes close to grilling and the meat gets the corresponding, fine aromas.

3. Prepare Original Gyros
In Greek, the term gyros has, among other things, the meaning of spinning top or round.
It is assumed that before horizontal grilling, vertical grilling was common.
In the gastronomic sense, gyros stands for the rotisserie and is “related” to the Turkish doner kebab.
For the gyros, selected and particularly soft pieces of pork are processed, such as pork neck.
Gyros meat: pork neck, pork escalope, pork tenderloin
Tip from chef Thomas Sixt
4. Tip for Gyros Meat
Since I don’t have a gyros grill at home, the gyros is prepared in the pan.
I prefer to use pork fillet, although it is slightly more expensive, it is unbeatably fine in terms of consistency and taste.
Use pork fillet – this results in gourmet quality gyros
Ingredients tip from chef Thomas Sixt
5. Tsatsiki for Gyros
I was wondering, different spellings are possible:
I found Tzatziki, Tsatsiki or Zaziki . When it comes to preparation, we largely agree:
Tsatsiki: Garlic, yoghurt and cucumber are the ingredients for this cold sauce.
Sauce tip from chef Thomas Sixt
With the Tsatsiki I have made various attempts with soy cream, the version with soy doesn’t taste bad, currently I’m using sheep’s milk yoghurt again.
My tsatsiki in the video turned into a cucumber salad, I like cucumbers and finally more vegetables are healthy too!
6. Typical Spices for Gyros Pan
Anyone who follows my cooking blog regularly knows my love of experimentation.
I have developed an interesting gyros spice mix.
Seasoning mix and suitable spices:
- marjoram
- oregano
- thyme
- Lemon peel
- Sweet paprika
This results in a very special combination that is powerful and refreshing at the same time.
In the original, the meat is seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, oregano and thyme, sometimes supplemented with cumin, marjoram and coriander.

Where can I get sheep milk yoghurt from? 🙂 I would like to try this for my tzatziki too!
ReplyHello Valerie, I made the recipe a long time ago when I was still living in Vienna and there was sheep yoghurt in the supermarket. At Edeka there is sheep's milk yoghurt from Greece. It sure is a good idea. Kind regards Thomas

My husband and I love Greek cuisine. Every year we fly to the Greek islands on our vacation and always spend wonderful weeks there. Nothing came of it this year thanks to the current situation… but this recipe brought the Greek flair home to us. A little holiday feeling on the plate, wonderful! Thank you for the culinary journey, Mr. Sixt!
