Beef Gyro Recipe

Prepare the Beef

Start by thinly slicing the beef sirloin against the grain into strips.

Marinate the Beef

In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the beef strips and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Cook the Beef

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated beef for about 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through and browned. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

Prepare the Vegetables

While the beef is marinating, chop the romaine lettuce, dice the tomato, and slice the red onion thinly.

Warm the Pita Bread

Heat the pita bread in a toaster or on a skillet for a few minutes until warm and pliable.

Make the Tzatziki Sauce

Grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess moisture. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, dill, and salt until well combined. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Assemble the Gyros

To assemble, place a portion of cooked beef onto a warm pita, top with lettuce, tomato, and red onion slices. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce before wrapping the pita around the filling.
