Beef Gyros

I love beef or chicken gyros, but I’m not a fan of the traditional gyro meat. Whatever your preferred protein, these are quick to prepare and very filling.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 2 lbs. steak, sliced into strips
  • 1 small red onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon Cavender’s All Purpose Greek Seasoning
  • Greek pita

Sides

  • Tzatziki sauce
  • Feta
  • Tomatoes, diced
  • Romaine lettuce, chopped
  • Cucumber, peeled and chopped

Directions

Wrap the pita in foil, and warm in the oven. Prepare the Tzatziki sauce.

In a large skillet, heat the oil. Once the pan is hot, add the meat and brown. Add the onion and cook until translucent. Add the seasoning, stir to combine.

Serve in warmed pita, and allow people to choose their toppings.

Notes

  • This makes a great salad, if you leave out the pita, and serve over lettuce

Tzatziki Sauce

This is a versatile sauce that goes well on gyros, salads, dips and, falafel. I keep it chunky for gyros, and I blend it for the others.
