Just to get this out of the way: No, we aren't sending you the entire rotisserie set to rotate and slow cook your meat. We can't fit all that in the box! But this meal gets you pretty close. Tender ground beef is seasoned to perfection and cooked in a loaf, then sliced. (You can pretend it’s rotisserie.) Tomatoes, pepper, and, of course, tzatziki round out your gyro. (Or guy-ro, or year-o.)
In Your Box (serves 2)
- 10 oz. Ground Beef
- 2 Roma Tomatoes
- 1 Green Bell Pepper
-
4 Mini Naan Flatbreads
-
2 oz. Tzatziki Dip
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- 1 tsp. Chimichurri Seasoning
- ½ tsp. Garlic Salt
Due to our just-in-time sourcing model, we may have to send you a substitute ingredient. Not to worry! We make sure every ingredient sent to you meets our high quality standards. We’ll keep you informed should a switch occur, so please check the ingredient labels in your meal bag.
