Ingredients

• 500 grams Lean beef strips
• 150 grams Low-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Whole wheat pita bread
• 1 large Tomato, diced
• 1 medium Cucumber, diced
• 0.5 Red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 100 grams Low-fat tzatziki sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, dried oregano, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to form the marinade.

Step 2

Add the lean beef strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the marinated beef strips from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Grill the beef strips for 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked through and browned. Remove the beef from the heat and let rest for a few minutes.

Step 6

Warm the whole wheat pita bread in the oven or on the stovetop for about 1-2 minutes per side.

Step 7

To assemble the yiros, place a warm pita bread on a serving plate. Add a portion of the beef strips, followed by diced tomato, cucumber, sliced red onion, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Step 8

Drizzle each yiros with the low-fat tzatziki sauce.

Step 9

Wrap the pita around the filling, securing with parchment paper or foil if necessary, and serve immediately.
