Method

Steak Souvlaki Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cut the steak into 1-inch cubes and add to the marinade. Mix well to coat and let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Prepare Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Once marinated, thread the steak cubes onto the skewers. Leave a little space between each piece for even cooking.

  3. 3

    Grill the Souvlaki

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness.

Tzatziki Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Tzatziki

    In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, fresh dill, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Side Salad Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and sliced red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and red wine vinegar, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to combine.

Serving

  1. 6

    Prepare Pita and Sides

    Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or microwave. Cook rice pilaf or French fries according to package instructions. For Feta fries, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over hot fries.

  2. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the skewers of steak with the side salad, tzatziki, and pita bread. Add your choice of rice pilaf, French fries, or feta fries.
