Ingredients

• 4 pieces Minute steak
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Pita bread
• 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce
• 2 medium Tomatoes
• 1 small Red onion
• 0.5 medium Cucumber
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 0.25 cup Feta cheese (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the vegetables. Slice the tomatoes, red onion, and cucumber thinly, and set them aside in separate bowls. Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to season the steaks.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan's surface evenly.

Step 4

Season both sides of the minute steak with the spice mixture, then place them into the hot skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 2 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 5

Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.

Step 6

Assemble the gyros: Lay a piece of pita bread flat, and spread about 2 tablespoons of tzatziki sauce on the surface. Add a lettuce leaf, a few slices of tomato, onion, and cucumber. Place the sliced steak on top and sprinkle with feta cheese if using.

Step 7

Drizzle a bit of lemon juice over the filling, then fold or roll the pita to enclose the filling.

Step 8

Repeat the process for the remaining gyros and serve warm.
