Time 35m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried mint (optional)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup 2% plain Greek yogurt
1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rings
1 onion, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
1 pound skirt steak
4 pocketless pitas
1 tomato, chopped
1 bunch watercress, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Make the marinade: Whisk the olive oil, garlic, mint (if using), oregano, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Transfer 1 tablespoon of the marinade to a small bowl; mix in the yogurt and 2 tablespoons water. Add the bell pepper and onion to the bowl with the remaining marinade and toss; remove to a plate with a slotted spoon. Add the steak to the bowl and toss.
  • Grill the bell pepper, onion and steak, turning once, until lightly charred, about 4 minutes per side for the vegetables and 4 to 8 minutes per side for the steak (depending on the thickness). Set aside to rest, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, grill the pitas until marked, about 1 minute per side.
  • Slice the steak against the grain. Fill the pitas with the steak, grilled vegetables, tomato and watercress. Drizzle with the yogurt sauce.

2 lbs sirloin steaks, 1-inch thick
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt
pepper
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
3/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 lemon, juice of
1 garlic clove, grated
2 sprigs oregano (no stems leaves chopped)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 dashes hot pepper sauce
4 large pita bread (or other flatbread)
4 lemon wedges (optional)
cucumber, slices (optional)
tomatoes, slices (optional)
red onion, slices (optional)
shredded romaine lettuce (optional)
kalamata olive (optional)
shredded cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler or grill to medium.
  • Drizzle the steak with extra-virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook, turning once, for medium rare 8-10 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly then slice thinly.
  • While steak is cooking or cooling, use a food processor to puree the feta, yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, cumin, coriander, and hot sauce. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl. Leave in fridge to cool if you'd like.
  • Char the pitas under the broiler or grill. Top with steak and your choice of toppings (see optional items above). Serve with lemon wedges and yogurt sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak. For gyros, you'll want a cut that is flavorful and tender, such as flank steak, skirt steak, or sirloin steak.
  • Marinate the steak. Marinating the steak helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple one made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs is a good place to start.
  • Cook the steak properly. Steak gyros are typically cooked over high heat, so that the steak is cooked quickly and remains tender. You can cook the steak on a grill, in a skillet, or even in the oven.
  • Slice the steak thinly. Once the steak is cooked, it should be sliced thinly against the grain. This will help to make the gyros easier to eat.
  • Assemble the gyros. To assemble the gyros, place a pita bread on a plate. Add some sliced steak, tomatoes, onions, and tzatziki sauce. You can also add other toppings, such as feta cheese, lettuce, or hot peppers.

Conclusion:

Steak gyros are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make steak gyros that are sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give steak gyros a try.
