GRILLED BEEF GYROS
A spicy marinade adds zip to these grilled beef slices tucked inside pita bread. Friends from Greece gave us their recipe for the cucumber sauce, which provides a cool contrast to the hot beef. I never have to worry about leftovers when I serve these sandwiches. -Lee Rademaker Hayfork, California

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK WITH GARLIC AND HERBS
Grilling might just be the best way to cook up a skirt steak. The intense heat gives the succulent and flavorful cut a rich char that's smoky and crisp at the edges. The trick is to get the fire hot enough and dry off any marinade before placing the meat on the grill. This will give you the deepest sear. Here, the meat is marinated in a garlicky herb paste flecked with pickled pepperoncini chiles. Other pickled peppers will work, too, so feel free to substitute pickled jalapeños if that's what you've got. Or use a fresh jalapeño and a dash of pickle juice to get a similar hot and vinegary punch. Lastly, be sure not to overcook the meat. Rare to medium rare guarantees tender beef.

Steps:
- In a blender or food processor, combine basil, scallions, lemon thyme, garlic, peperoncini, salt and lemon zest and juice. Pour olive oil over mixture; blend until it turns to paste.
- Using paper towels, pat steak dry and place in a large bowl; slather paste mixture all over meat. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Light the grill or heat the broiler with the rack as close to the heat source as possible. Use a paper towel to pat steak dry. (You can leave some of the paste, but for the best sear, the meat should be dry when it hits the grill.) Grill meat over direct heat until char lines appear, and meat is done to taste, 3 to 5 minutes per side, or broil until charred, 2 to 5 minutes per side. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving, garnished with herbs and scallions.

Steps:
- Prepare grill.
- Cut steak into large pieces if necessary to fit on grill.
- In a small bowl stir together remaining ingredients. On a sheet of wax paper spread spice paste evenly on both sides of steak. Marinate steak at room temperature 15 minutes.
- Grill steak on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until just springy to the touch, for medium-rare meat. (Alternately, steak may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.)

- Grill the steak to perfection: Grill the skirt steak over high heat to get a nice char and a juicy, medium-rare interior. Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it against the grain.
- Make the tzatziki sauce: Combine Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and fresh herbs to make a creamy, tangy sauce. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the gyros: Place slices of grilled skirt steak, tzatziki sauce, tomatoes, onions, and parsley in warm pita bread. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, and serve immediately.
