Pork Souvlaki Gyros Meat Only

Without dropping a bundle on a veritical spit and preparing 50 pounds of layered souvlaki, this is as close as you can get to the real deal right in your kitchen. having tried many recipes, i scrapped all and started from scratch with a simple pulled pork roast recipe. so, the texture is not exact, but the flavor is nearly identical to what i've tasted in iraklion, fira, mytilini, and mainland greece.

Steps

- mix the dried herbs , water , olive oil , lemon juice , soy sauce , and vinegar in a bowl deep enough to hold the pork roast.
- coat pork roast with the marinade.
- slice the garlic and onion and spread over top of meat.
- cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours , turning and coating several times.
- place all in roasting pan or dish.
- tent and roast at 300 degrees 4 to 4.
5 hours , basting often with its own juices.
Should have internal temp of at least 170 degrees.
- after removing from oven , allow to cool to touch.
- remove meat from bone , discarding any fat and / or grissle.
- mix all sauce and bits from the pan together with the pulled meat and salt to taste.
- meat should be very moist but if necessary , add olive oil and water to moisten especially if reheating.
- before serving , dry fry the meat in a non-stick skillet.
This will produce crispy golden brown bits nearly identical to that from a rotisserie.
