Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Minute steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Pita bread
- 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 1 small Red onion
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 0.25 cup Feta cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables. Slice the tomatoes, red onion, and cucumber thinly, and set them aside in separate bowls. Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to season the steaks.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan's surface evenly.
Season both sides of the minute steak with the spice mixture, then place them into the hot skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 2 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
Assemble the gyros: Lay a piece of pita bread flat, and spread about 2 tablespoons of tzatziki sauce on the surface. Add a lettuce leaf, a few slices of tomato, onion, and cucumber. Place the sliced steak on top and sprinkle with feta cheese if using.
Drizzle a bit of lemon juice over the filling, then fold or roll the pita to enclose the filling.
Repeat the process for the remaining gyros and serve warm.
