Beef Gyro

Beef Gyro

This delicious beef gyro is made with tender marinated beef, fresh vegetables, and creamy tzatziki sauce, all wrapped in warm pita bread.

Ingredients

  • Pita bread (4 rounds)
  • Red onion (1/2, thinly sliced)
  • Tomato (1, sliced)
  • Fresh dill (1 tablespoon, chopped)
  • Cucumber (1/2, diced)
  • Greek yogurt (1/2 cup)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Dried oregano (1 teaspoon)
  • Lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
  • Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Beef sirloin (1 pound, thinly sliced)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the sliced beef and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.
  2. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated beef slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, chopped dill, salt, and pepper to make the tzatziki sauce.
  4. Warm the pita bread rounds on the grill or in a toaster oven.
  5. To assemble the gyros, spread a spoonful of tzatziki sauce on each pita bread round. Top with slices of cooked beef, tomato slices, and thinly sliced red onion.
  6. Fold the pita bread in half and serve the beef gyros immediately.
