Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean beef sirloin, sliced thinly
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 medium Red onion, sliced thinly
- 2 medium Tomatoes, diced
- 1 medium Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 4 pieces Whole wheat pita breads
- 1 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced beef with olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, ground cumin, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to coat the beef evenly with the spices.
Step 2
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned beef slices and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the beef is browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the low-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped dill to create the sauce. Stir well and set aside.
Step 4
Prepare the vegetables by slicing the red onion, dicing the tomatoes, and thinly slicing the cucumber.
Step 5
Warm the whole wheat pita breads in the oven or on a skillet for a few minutes until they are soft and pliable.
Step 6
To assemble the gyros, take a warm pita, layer some cooked beef slices in the center, followed by sliced onions, diced tomatoes, and sliced cucumbers.
Step 7
Drizzle the yogurt sauce over the filling and fold the pita to enclose the ingredients.
Step 8
Repeat the assembly process for the remaining pitas. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
