Halal Guys Beef Gyro Recipe
If you've ever walked through the bustling streets of New York City, you know the Halal Guys beef gyro platter is a must-try classic! The good news is, you can recreate this iconic dish right in your own kitchen! You'll be amazed at how tender and flavorful the meat turns out once you get the spices just right. I always emphasize marinating the beef overnight for that authentic flavor to really seep in. And let's not forget about the magic of balancing the cool creamy white sauce with the fiery kick of the red sauce.
