Karn Meats Gyro Loaf and Gyro Patties
Gyro Loaf and Gyro Patties are Karn Meat's tasty and convenient versions of the
delicious Greek sandwich specialty. Typically a Greek gyro is prepared with meat
sliced from a big cylinder of well-seasoned lamb or lamb and beef. The lamb or beef
for the gyro rotates slowly on a vertical spit. The name gyro implies the circular
spinning motion of a gyroscope. The gyro has grown in popularity as a quick and
satisfying sandwich, easily prepared in restaurants and commercial food establishments.
Gyro Loaf and Gyro Patties have taken convenience a step further in terms of food
preparation, purchasing and quality and cost control.
The Gyro Loaf is 80% beef and 20% lamb. They are prepared in 12 pound loaves made
to be cooked on a vertical broiler. As the Gyro Loaf cooks, the meat is shaved off
for sandwiches. Traditionally, the sandwich maker slices off strips of the cooked
meat when the sandwich is ordered; heats pita bread on a griddle or grill, and then
serves the meat on the bread, topped with special gyro sandwich sauce. The Gyro
Loaf sandwich is usually garnished with shredded lettuce and diced tomato. The Gyro
Loaf is primarily shipped as a raw product, but it can also be shipped as a cooked
product.
Gyro Patties are prepared with a beef/lamb blend, or can be beef only. The Gyro
Patties are hoagie shaped with a standard seasoning profile or seasoning that suits
a customer's specific profile. The Gyro Patty is an IQF product, Individually Quick
Frozen.
Gyro is probably the most often mispronounced food name. The correct Greek pronunciation
is "yee-rohs." Karn Meat's Gyro Loaf and Gyro Patties are prepared following strict
HACCP guidelines with the utmost in reliability and consistency. We can customize
the Gyro Loaf and Gyro Patties to suit your specific needs. Please call 1-800-221-9585
