Ingredients

• 500 grams lamb shoulder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces pita bread
• 1 cucumber, diced
• 1 tomato, diced
• 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce (soy-free)

Directions

Step 1

Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the lamb shoulder against the grain into strips approximately 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 3

Add the lamb slices to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Grill the marinated lamb strips for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness and well-charred around the edges.

Step 6

While the lamb is cooking, warm the pita bread on the grill for about 1-2 minutes per side until slightly toasted.

Step 7

Assemble the yiros by placing a few slices of grilled lamb on each warmed pita.

Step 8

Top with diced cucumber, diced tomato, and thinly sliced red onion.

Step 9

Drizzle with soy-free Tzatziki sauce.

Step 10

Fold the pita to enclose the filling and serve immediately.
