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
- 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.
- 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.
- In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, chopped dill, salt, and pepper to make the tzatziki sauce.
- Warm the pita bread rounds on the grill or in a toaster oven.
- 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.
- Fold the pita bread in half and serve the beef gyros immediately.
