Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef sirloin
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Cucumber, grated and drained
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
- 4 large Lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces Pita bread
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper to create a marinade.
Thinly slice the beef sirloin into strips and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
While the beef is marinating, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, fresh dill, a pinch of salt, and paprika. Stir well and refrigerate until needed.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated beef strips to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the beef is browned and cooked through.
Warm the pita bread by lightly toasting on a skillet or wrapping them in foil and placing in a low-temperature oven for a few minutes.
Assemble the gyros: Place a lettuce leaf on each pita, add cooked beef, a few slices of red onion, and tomato.
Drizzle the homemade tzatziki sauce over the top.
Fold the pita over the filling and serve immediately.
