Cut the pork neck into thin slices (about 5mm). You can lightly freeze the meat for easier slicing.
Description
Gyros is an iconic Greek street food that has gained popularity worldwide. Marinated pork is traditionally roasted on a vertical spit, sliced thinly, and served in pita with tzatziki, tomato, onion, and fries. The secret to perfect gyros lies in the marinade - a mixture of olive oil, lemon, garlic, and Greek herbs that makes the meat aromatic and juicy. In a homemade version, the meat can be cooked in a pan or on a grill, preserving the authentic taste of the Greek street.

Tips
It is best to serve gyros in warm pita, with fresh vegetables such as tomatoes and onions. You can also add fries for an authentic taste. Serve on plates garnished with fresh herbs, and accompany everything with cold tzatziki.
Leftover gyros is best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, use a skillet or oven to maintain the crispiness of the meat.
