Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin tips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 medium cucumber
- 0.5 cup coconut cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 8 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato
- 0.5 medium red onion
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin tips into thin strips and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Add the beef strips and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
While the beef is marinating, prepare the cucumber sauce. Peel and grate the cucumber. Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean cloth or paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix the grated cucumber with coconut cream, lemon juice, and fresh dill. Stir until well combined and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef strips and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until fully cooked and browned. Remove from heat.
Prepare the gyros fillings: slice the tomato and red onion thinly.
For assembly, use large lettuce leaves as the wrap. Place a portion of cooked beef on each leaf, then add sliced tomato, red onion, and a generous spoonful of cucumber sauce.
Serve immediately while the beef is warm.
