Mention the ingredients needed for the gyro meat preparation.

Explain the importance of handling the meat to bind it properly, unlike traditional meatloaf.

Suggest using a KitchenAid stand mixer or food processor for mixing the meat.

Chop 1/4 to 1/2 onion in a food processor until fine.

Optionally squeeze excess moisture from the onion using paper towels if using a whole onion.

Add spices to the chopped onion: 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1.5 teaspoons oregano (or 1 teaspoon oregano + 1 teaspoon marjoram), 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon rosemary, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon thyme, and 1 teaspoon salt.

Add 1 pound of ground lamb and 1 pound of ground beef to the mixture.

Process the mixture in the food processor until it becomes sticky, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
