Ingredients

• 500 grams Lean pork tenderloin
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 200 grams Plain low-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 small Cucumber
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
• 4 pieces Whole wheat pita breads
• 1 large Tomato
• 1 small Red onion
• 4 leaves Lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

Slice the lean pork tenderloin into thin strips, approximately 1 cm thick.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add pork strips to the bowl, tossing to ensure they are evenly coated. Marinate for at least 20 minutes.

Step 3

While the pork is marinating, prepare the yogurt sauce. Halve the cucumber lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and grate it using a box grater. Pat the grated cucumber dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix the grated cucumber with low-fat Greek yogurt, remaining lemon juice, and fresh chopped dill. Stir well and set aside.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork strips and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly browned. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Warm the whole wheat pita breads in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 2-3 minutes or until soft.

Step 7

Slice the tomato and red onion into thin rings.

Step 8

To assemble, place a lettuce leaf on each warmed pita bread, followed by a portion of the pork strips, tomato slices, and onion rings.

Step 9

Drizzle the yogurt-cucumber sauce generously over the filling.

Step 10

Fold the pita breads around the fillings and serve your Low Fat Pork Gyros immediately.
