Ingredients
- 1 lb beef thinly sliced (such as sirloin or flank steak)
- 4 pita bread or flatbreads
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tomato diced
- 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- Olive oil
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Marinate the beef slices in this mixture for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.
- Heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated beef slices for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
- Warm the pita bread or flatbreads in the skillet or microwave.
- To assemble the gyros, place a spoonful of the yogurt sauce on each pita bread. Top with the sliced beef, diced tomatoes, sliced red onions, and fresh parsley.
- Roll up the pita bread tightly to form a gyro wrap. You can also secure it with toothpicks for easier handling.
- Serve the beef gyros hot with extra tzatziki sauce on the side and enjoy!
