Meat Mixture

Tzatziki Sauce

Toppings

Hand-Cut Fries

Method

Prepare the Meat Mixture

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    Shape the Patties

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

Make the Tzatziki Sauce

  1. 3

    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.

  2. 4

    Chill the Sauce

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

Prepare Hand-Cut Fries

  1. 5

    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

  1. 6

    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

  1. 7

    Prepare the Pita

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

  2. 8

    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.

  3. 9

    Serve

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