Sirloin Gyros
There’s no need to overpay for restaurant gyros – you can easily make it right at home with a healthy homemade Greek yogurt tzatziki sauce!
Ingredients
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 pound top sirloin filet
- 4 pita breads, toasted
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
For the tzatziki sauce
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cucumber, peeled and grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, or more, to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper, to taste; drizzle with olive oil. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld; set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, yogurt, oregano, salt and pepper, to taste. Add sirloin, coating the beef completely; cover and place in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
- Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add sirloin and cook, flipping once, until medium rare, about 4-5 minutes per side. Let the meat rest for 5-7 minutes before carving into thin slices.
- To assemble, top each pita bread with sirloin, tzatziki sauce, tomatoes and red onion. Serve immediately.
