What part of the animal is gyro meat cut from?

Hi folks! I'm curious about the process of making gyro meat. What part of the animal do they use? Is it a specific cut or a mix of different parts? Any meat experts here who can shed some light? Thanks!

Great question! Gyro meat is usually cut from the leg or shoulder of lamb, or sometimes beef or pork. It’s marinated and cooked on a vertical rotisserie. Delicious!

I think gyro meat is usually made from the shoulder or leg of the animal, though sometimes it's a mix of parts.

Hey! Gyro meat usually comes from a mix of lamb, beef, or sometimes chicken, all blended together. Thanks for the interest!

Gyro meat is usually made from a mix of lamb and beef, though you can also use pork or chicken; it’s often ground and seasoned before being formed into a loaf and cooked on a vertical rotisserie.
