Servings: 4

Ingredients

Pita bread
4 rounds
Beef sirloin
1 pound, thinly sliced
Red onion
1 small, thinly sliced
Tomato
1 large, sliced
Cucumber
1 medium, diced
Fresh dill
2 tablespoons, chopped
Greek yogurt
1 cup
Garlic
2 cloves, minced
Olive oil
3 tablespoons
Lemon juice
2 tablespoons
Dried oregano
1 teaspoon
Salt
to taste
Pepper
to taste

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. While the beef is resting, prepare the tzatziki sauce by mixing together the Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, chopped dill, a pinch of salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  4. Warm the pita bread rounds on the grill or in a toaster oven until soft and pliable.
  5. To assemble the gyros, spread a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce on each pita bread round. Layer with slices of cooked beef, tomato slices, and thinly sliced red onion.
  6. Fold the pita bread in half, securing the filling, and serve the beef gyros immediately, hot off the grill.
