Making Restaurant-Style Pork Gyros at Home

What sets these gyros apart is the perfectly seasoned pork, slow-braised in the Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker, 6 Quart before being finished with a crisp sear. You get all the luscious flavor and tenderness of traditional gyros with a fraction of the effort—and no compromise in authenticity.

The blend of cumin, oregano, garlic, lemon, and smoked paprika guarantees that each bite has that signature Greek flair. Tuck the pork into fluffy pita and pile high with fresh toppings for a meal that’s as fun to make as it is to eat.

Essential Prep for Flavorful Gyro Toppings

Fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and crisp greens are the perfect counterpoint to the succulent pork. For restaurant-worthy results, use the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper to quickly dice and slice all your veggies for a perfectly uniform presentation.

Make a quick homemade tzatziki sauce by blending Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and lemon juice in a Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender—smooth, creamy, and so much fresher than store-bought.

How to Make Instant Pot Pork Gyros

Cooking pork in the Instant Pot achieves that juicy, pull-apart texture synonymous with gyros in a fraction of the time it takes to roast or braise in the oven. For even shredding, use the Chicken Shredder Tool Twist for Kitchen, Elegant Black.

Finish the pork under the broiler or in a COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt using the “air fry” or “broil” setting and air fryer paper liners to keep cleanup to a minimum—resulting in irresistibly caramelized edges and authentic texture.
