Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef sirloin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Cucumber, diced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 8 Romaine lettuce leaves
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Thinly slice the beef sirloin and add it to the marinade, ensuring all slices are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the beef is marinating, prepare the avocado sauce. In a small bowl, mash the avocado and mix it with coconut milk and fresh dill until smooth. Set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
In a large bowl, mix diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.
To assemble the gyros, lay a romaine lettuce leaf on a plate. Place a few slices of beef onto the leaf, add a spoonful of the cucumber-tomato mixture, and drizzle with avocado sauce.
Repeat the assembly for each serving and serve immediately.
