Beef Gyro with Tzatziki and Feta
Ingredients
  • 2 (8 ounce) containers plain yogurt
  • 2 cucumbers - peeled, seeded, and diced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 (1 pound) beef top sirloin steak, cut into thin strips
  • 5 pita bread rounds
  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • 1/2 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 (4 ounce) package crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 (2.25 ounce) can sliced ripe olives, drained
Instructions
1
Combine yogurt, cucumbers, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, dill, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a blender until the ingredients are perfectly incorporated to form a smooth tzatziki sauce.
2
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the steak in the hot skillet until it reaches your desired level of doneness, typically 5 to 10 minutes.
3
Assemble the dish by layering half of each pita with steak, tomato, onion, feta cheese, lettuce, olives, and a generous helping of the homemade tzatziki sauce. Fold the edge of each pita over the filling and secure it with a toothpick to hold everything in place.
