Gyro Sandwich Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garlic Yogurt Sauce

    In a bowl, combine the plain yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and grated cucumber. Mix well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the meat is browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Gyros

    Warm the pita bread slightly in a pan or microwave. On each pita, layer the cooked beef, a spoonful of garlic yogurt sauce, sliced onions, tomatoes, and shredded lettuce.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Fold the pita over the fillings and serve immediately with extra garlic yogurt sauce on the side if desired.
