Pita Bread

Meat and Marinade

Tzatziki Sauce

Vegetable Toppings

Method

Prepare the Marinade and Meat

  1. 1

    Marinate the Meat

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well. Add the boneless lamb or beef, ensuring it is well-coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meat

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the meat from the marinade and grill or sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.

Make the Tzatziki Sauce

  1. 3

    Combine Tzatziki Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (well-drained), minced garlic, chopped dill, olive oil, and salt to taste. Stir until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Assemble the Gyro Pita

  1. 4

    Layer the Ingredients

    Take a piece of pita bread and layer it with sliced meat, diced tomato, sliced red onion, shredded lettuce, and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce to finish.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Wrap the pita around the fillings and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Gyro Pita Special!
