Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin steak
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 10 fresh mint leaves
- 8 lettuce leaves
- 1 red onion
- 2 tomato
- 1 cucumber
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Start by marinating the beef: in a small bowl, mix lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and pepper.
Step 2
Place beef sirloin steak in a deep dish or ziplock bag and cover it with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Step 3
While the beef is marinating, thinly slice the red onion, tomatoes, and cucumber. Set aside.
Step 4
Heat a grill or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 5
Once hot, remove the beef from the marinade, shaking off excess, and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer according to your preference.
Step 6
Remove the beef from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips against the grain.
Step 7
Assemble the yiros by laying out a lettuce leaf, adding sliced beef, tomato, onion, cucumber, and a few fresh mint leaves.
Step 8
Top each yiros with a tablespoon of coconut yogurt and serve immediately.
