Ingredients

• 1 pound flank steak
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 4 pieces pita bread
• 0.75 cup tzatziki sauce
• 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, making sure it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels to prevent excessive smoking. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 5

Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium). Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Step 6

While the steak rests, warm the pita bread by placing it on the grill for 1-2 minutes per side or wrapping it in aluminum foil and placing it in a warm oven.

Step 7

To assemble the pitas, spread a dollop of tzatziki sauce inside each pita. Layer with slices of grilled steak, followed by cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped dill, if desired, and serve immediately.
