- If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook the roast beef until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- To make the tzatziki sauce, simply combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and stir until well blended. You can also use store-bought tzatziki sauce if you're short on time.
- The roast beef and tzatziki sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat the roast beef in the oven or microwave before assembling the pitas.
- Serve the pitas with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and feta cheese.
