Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 pieces Pita breads
- 1 medium Red onion, sliced
- 2 medium Tomato, sliced
- 1 medium Cucumber, sliced
- 1 bunch Fresh parsley, chopped
- 200 grams Dairy-free yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper.
Add the thinly sliced beef to the bowl and pour the lemon juice over it. Mix everything together until the beef is well coated with the marinade.
Cover the bowl and let the beef marinate at room temperature for at least 15 minutes. For better flavor, marinate in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
While the beef is marinating, prepare the dairy-free sauce. In a small bowl, combine the dairy-free yogurt, chopped dill, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well and set aside.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef slices in batches, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes until they are browned and cooked through.
Warm the pita breads either by placing them in a toaster or a hot pan for a few minutes until soft and pliable.
To assemble the gyros, spread a generous amount of the dairy-free sauce on each pita bread.
Add cooked beef slices, followed by red onion, tomato, cucumber slices, and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
Wrap the pita around the fillings and serve the gyros immediately. Enjoy your dairy-free beef gyros with extra sauce on the side if desired.
