STEAK PITAS WITH TAHINI CUCUMBER SALAD
Who can resist warm rounds of pita layered with thinly sliced steak, onions, fresh herbs and creamy tahini-dressed cucumbers and tomatoes? These hearty, colorful pitas are loosely inspired by the popular Middle Eastern street food shawarma. Pumpkin pie spice imparts warm flavor to the meat and stands in for the spice blend typically used for shawarma meats.

Tips:
- For the most flavorful steak, choose a high-quality cut of meat, such as rib-eye or strip steak.
- To ensure the steak is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or 4-5 minutes per side for medium.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing, this will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- For the best results, use fresh pita bread.
- If you don't have fresh pita bread, you can warm up store-bought pita bread in the oven or microwave.
- To make the tzatziki sauce, use Greek yogurt for a thick and creamy sauce.
- If you don't have Greek yogurt, you can use sour cream or mayonnaise.
- For a more flavorful tzatziki sauce, add some fresh herbs, such as dill, mint, or parsley.
Conclusion:
The Mediterranean steak and egg pitas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The steak is cooked to perfection and the tzatziki sauce is a tangy and refreshing complement. The pitas are the perfect vessel for holding all of the ingredients.
