Steak Gyros

Ingredients:

• Tzaziki Sauce:
• 1 1/2 cups lowfat Greek yogurt
• 2/3 seedless cucumber, peeled and grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 tsps. white wine vinegar
• Zest of 1/2 lemon
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Marinade:
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tsps. red wine vinegar
• 2 Tbsps. olive oil
• 3 Tbsps. lowfat Greek yogurt
• 1 Tbsp. dried oregano
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 1/2 lbs. sirloin steak
• Gyros:
• Pita Bread, warmed
• 2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2. Combine all marinade ingredients in a large ziploc bag and shake to combine. Add steak and marinate for 4 hours or more.
3. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for about 4 minutes per side or until medium-rare (or however you like your steak cooked). Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing against the grain.
4. I always seem to mess up heating up pita bread, but I think that the best way to do it is to warm them up in the oven directly on the rack at a low temperature. Assemble the gyros by layering the sliced steak, tomatoes, and onion on a pita. Serve the tzaziki on the side for dipping or put it directly on the gyro.
