Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 large lettuce leaves
- 1 small, diced cucumber
- 1 large, diced tomato
- 0.5 medium, thinly sliced red onion
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup coconut yogurt
- 1 tablespoon, fresh and chopped dill
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until the beef is browned, about 7-8 minutes.
Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.
While the beef is cooking, prepare the vegetables: dice the cucumber and tomato, and thinly slice the red onion. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the coconut yogurt, chopped dill, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix well to create the sauce.
To serve, take a large lettuce leaf and fill it with a generous spoonful of the beef mixture.
Top the beef with diced cucumber, tomato, and red onion slices.
Drizzle the coconut yogurt sauce over the top and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Fold the lettuce leaves like a wrap and enjoy your healthy Whole30 Beef Gyros!
