Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Minute steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 small Cucumber
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Pita bread
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 1 small Red onion
- 100 grams Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Prepare the tzatziki sauce: Grate the cucumber, squeeze out the excess water, and place it in a bowl. Mince one garlic clove and add it to the bowl along with the Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, half the oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well, then cover and refrigerate.
Slice the minute steak into thin strips and season with the remaining oregano, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the steak strips and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Meanwhile, warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or in the oven at low heat until soft and pliable.
Slice the tomatoes, red onion, and chop the parsley. Crumble the feta cheese.
Assemble the gyros: Spread a generous layer of tzatziki sauce onto each pita bread. Add a portion of the cooked steak, followed by the sliced tomatoes, red onion, crumbled feta, and a sprinkle of parsley.
Fold the pita bread around the filling and serve immediately. Optionally, secure with parchment paper or foil for easy handling.
