Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

Pork
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup dry red wine
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 small bay leaf, crumbled
1/2 tablespoon (packed) fresh oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 1-pound pork tenderloins
Sauce
1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt or whole-milk yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped seeded tomato
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons drained capers, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
6 7-inch-diameter pita breads
1 red onion, halved, thinly sliced
24 large arugula leaves

Steps:

  • For pork:
  • Combine first 7 ingredients in large resealable plastic bag; shake to blend. Add pork to marinade; seal bag. Chill overnight, turning bag occasionally.
  • For sauce:
  • Stir first 7 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and chill until ready to use, up to 1 day.
  • Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Remove pork from bag. Grill until thermometer inserted into center of each tenderloin registers 145°F, about 18 minutes. Transfer to work surface; let stand 10 minutes (temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees). Thinly slice into rounds.
  • Grill pitas until warmed through and softened, about 2 minutes per side. Cut pitas in half. Fill pita halves with pork, drizzle with sauce, then tuck in onion and arugula. Serve, passing remaining sauce separately.

I've never made gyros before, but this recipe made it easy. The instructions were clear and concise, and the dish turned out great. I'll definitely be making these again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my gyros didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. The meat was a bit dry and the sauce was too thin. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These gyros were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said the meat was perfectly cooked and the sauce was delicious. I'll definitely be making these again, but with less chili powder.

I'm not a big fan of pork, but I really enjoyed these gyros. The meat was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was delicious. I'll definitely be making these again, but with chicken instead of pork.

I made these gyros for my family and they loved them! The red onion and arugula added a nice touch of freshness. I'll definitely be making these again soon.

These pork gyros were a hit at my last party! The meat was tender and flavorful, and the yogurt-tomato sauce was the perfect complement. I'll definitely be making this again.
