Ingredients

• 500 grams Minute steak
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 small Cucumber
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Pita bread
• 2 medium Tomatoes
• 1 small Red onion
• 100 grams Feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the tzatziki sauce: Grate the cucumber, squeeze out the excess water, and place it in a bowl. Mince one garlic clove and add it to the bowl along with the Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, half the oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well, then cover and refrigerate.

Step 2

Slice the minute steak into thin strips and season with the remaining oregano, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the steak strips and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Meanwhile, warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or in the oven at low heat until soft and pliable.

Step 5

Slice the tomatoes, red onion, and chop the parsley. Crumble the feta cheese.

Step 6

Assemble the gyros: Spread a generous layer of tzatziki sauce onto each pita bread. Add a portion of the cooked steak, followed by the sliced tomatoes, red onion, crumbled feta, and a sprinkle of parsley.

Step 7

Fold the pita bread around the filling and serve immediately. Optionally, secure with parchment paper or foil for easy handling.
