Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 large Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 small, grated and strained Cucumber
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh dill
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for tzatziki)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (for tzatziki)
- 1 medium, sliced Tomato
- 0.5 small, thinly sliced Red onion
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef mixture and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
While the beef is cooking, prepare the cucumber tzatziki sauce. In a small bowl, combine the grated and strained cucumber, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and set aside.
Once the beef is cooked, drain any excess fat and remove the skillet from the heat.
To assemble the gyros, take a romaine lettuce leaf and place 2-3 tablespoons of the cooked beef in the center.
Top the beef with a spoonful of cucumber tzatziki sauce, followed by a few slices of tomato and red onion.
Roll up the lettuce leaf around the fillings and serve immediately.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make additional gyros. Enjoy!
