Method

Prepare the Meat Mixture

Mix the Meat

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, minced garlic, chopped red onion, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Shape the Patties

Divide the meat mixture into equal portions and shape them into oval patties. Set aside.

Make the Tzatziki Sauce

Combine Ingredients

In a medium bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and chopped dill until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Chill the Sauce

Cover the tzatziki sauce and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Prepare Hand-Cut Fries

Fry the Potatoes

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the cut potatoes and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt to taste.

Cook the Bifteki

Grill the Patties

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the shaped bifteki for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until cooked through and nicely browned.

Assemble the Gyro

Prepare the Pita

Warm the pita bread on the grill or in a pan for about 1 minute on each side.

Fill the Pita

Spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce on each pita, add a bifteki patty, topped with diced tomatoes, sliced red onion, and chopped parsley. Add hand-cut fries inside the pita.

Serve

Wrap the pita around the filling and serve immediately while hot.
