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. Flank steak or skirt steak are commonly used for gyros, as they are flavorful and can withstand the high heat of grilling.
  • Marinate the steak. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. A simple marinade can be made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs.
  • Grill the steak over high heat. This will create a nice char on the outside while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Slice the steak thinly against the grain. This will make it easier to eat and will help to prevent the meat from becoming tough.
  • Serve the steak gyros with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include tzatziki sauce, tomatoes, onions, and lettuce.
