Ingredients
- 1 lb Beef sirloin steak
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Red wine vinegar
- 2 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 4 whole Pita breads
- 2 medium Tomatoes, diced
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper.
Place the beef sirloin steak in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Turn the steak to coat both sides. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
While the beef is marinating, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a small bowl, combine the dairy-free yogurt, fresh dill, garlic powder, and lemon zest. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
Let the cooked steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
To assemble the gyros, place some sliced steak, diced tomatoes, sliced red onion, and diced cucumber in the center of each pita bread.
Spoon a generous amount of dairy-free tzatziki sauce over the fillings and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Fold the pita bread to enclose the fillings and serve immediately.
