Ingredients

• 1 lb Beef sirloin steak
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
• 1 tbsp Red wine vinegar
• 2 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Ground coriander
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 4 whole Pita breads
• 2 medium Tomatoes, diced
• 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 small Cucumber, diced
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 cup Dairy-free yogurt
• 1 tbsp Fresh dill, chopped
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the beef sirloin steak in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Turn the steak to coat both sides. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Step 3

While the beef is marinating, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a small bowl, combine the dairy-free yogurt, fresh dill, garlic powder, and lemon zest. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.

Step 6

Let the cooked steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

Step 7

To assemble the gyros, place some sliced steak, diced tomatoes, sliced red onion, and diced cucumber in the center of each pita bread.

Step 8

Spoon a generous amount of dairy-free tzatziki sauce over the fillings and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Step 9

Fold the pita bread to enclose the fillings and serve immediately.
