GYROS (AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN GET WITHOUT THE SPIT!)

Steps:

• Combine wine, oil, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper.
• Cut steak across the grain into slices as thin as possible.
• I use the Chinese trick of putting the meat in the freezer and partially freeze so that it will slice easier.
• Pour wine marinade over meat strips, refrigerate and marinate for at least 1 hour.
• Drain strips.
• Add butter or margarine to saute' pan.
• Add meat, in two batches, and saute' until brown on both sides.
• Remove to serving platter and keep warm.
• Wrap pitas in damp paper towels and microwave until very warm.
• Open one end of each pita to make pocket.
• Set out lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and yogurt.
• Let each person make his own.
• Tips: If you are lucky enough to have a Middle Eastern food store around,ask them for Lebne (pronounced"leeb nee") and use in place of the drained yogurt.
• It is much richer and creamier.
• Or make your own Tzatziki (cucumber, garlic, yogurt dip).
