Traeger Gyro Sandwich with Tzatziki Coleslaw

Step 1

Preheat your smoker to 220°.

Step 2

Pat the roast dry with paper towels and rub with the olive oil. Mix together the seasonings for the meat, and rub all over the roast (on top of the mesh holding it together).

Step 3

Place on the smoker and smoke for 3-4 hours (you can go longer if you'd like).

Step 4

Put the roast into a grill-safe baking dish, pour in the hard cider, and cover tightly with foil. This portion of the cook can be done in an oven, Instant Pot, or slow cooker. We kept it on the pellet grill because we didn't want to heat up the house.

Step 5

Braise for 2-3 hours at 300°. Cook until the roast is fork-tender. This should be between 195-204° internal temperature.

Step 6

Remove and shred the lamb. Keep the juices with the meat and mix them together.

Step 7

Mix together the coleslaw mix with the tzatziki sauce and let meld for 15-20 minutes.

Step 8

Toast your buns. Build your sandwiches and heap them with tzatziki coleslaw. Enjoy!
