Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound flank steak
⅓ cup olive oil
3 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons dried oregano (or 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano)
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
juice of ½ lemon (plus additional wedges for squeezing)
4 white or wheat pitas
½ red onion (thinly sliced)
1 tomato (thinly sliced)
romaine lettuce
1 medium cucumber + ½ teaspoon salt (peeled and sliced )
2 cups cold plain Greek yogurt
4 teaspoons minced garlic
⅓ cup chopped dill (fresh or frozen, (may sub 2 tablespoons dried dill))
1 ½ tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
⅛ teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

  • Place steak, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and juice from 1/2 lemon in a large resealable bag. Press excess air out and seal bag. Refrigerate for 1-8 hours.

  • Preheat grill, grill pan, or cast iron skillet, to medium-high heat. Use tongs to transfer steak to grill and discard excess marinade. Cook steak for 6-8 minutes on each side until desired doneness (I recommend leaving just a hint of pink in the center for super juicy, tender meat with lots of flavor!)

  • Assemble gyros with lettuce, sliced onions and cucumbers, and steak. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce, top with black pepper and fresh squeezed lemon and serve immediately.
