Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin steak
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon dill (fresh or dried)
- 4 pieces pita bread
- 0.5 red onion (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 cucumber (thinly sliced)
- 2 tomatoes (sliced)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together ground cumin, ground coriander, garlic powder, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the steak dry with paper towels and rub the spice mixture all over the steak, ensuring an even coating.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the steak to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time for desired doneness.
Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
While the steak rests, prepare the yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and dill. Mix until smooth.
Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or in the oven for a few minutes until soft and pliable.
To assemble, place sliced steak on each warm pita, followed by red onion, cucumber, and tomato slices.
Drizzle the prepared yogurt sauce over the top and fold the pita into a wrap shape.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade gyro steaks!
