Sirloin Gyros Recipes

STEAK GYROS WITH TZATZIKI CUCUMBER SAUCE

Steps:

• Place steak, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and juice from 1/2 lemon in a large resealable bag. Press excess air out and seal bag. Refrigerate for 1-8 hours.
• Spread cucumber slices out on a paper towel. Sprinkle generously with salt on both sides and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Wrap cucumber slices in paper towels, squeeze excess liquid out, and transfer to a food processor or blender.
• Add remaining sauce ingredients to blender and pulse until smooth and creamy. Cover and chill until ready to use.
• Preheat grill, grill pan, or cast iron skillet, to medium-high heat. Use tongs to transfer steak to grill and discard excess marinade. Cook steak for 6-8 minutes on each side until desired doneness (I recommend leaving just a hint of pink in the center for super juicy, tender meat with lots of flavor!)
• Transfer steak to a cutting board and allow meat to rest for a few minutes before slicing very thinly across the grain.
• Assemble gyros with lettuce, sliced onions and cucumbers, and steak. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce, top with black pepper and fresh squeezed lemon and serve immediately.

STEAK GYROS

Steps:

• Preheat grill, grill pan, or large cast iron skillet, to medium-high heat. Season both sides of steak generously with salt and pepper. Let excess marinade drip off steak and transfer steak to pan. Cook until golden brown, 5-7 minutes per side for medium rare.
• Transfer steak to a cutting board and allow meat to rest for 5 minutes. Slice steak into 1/2-inch pieces across the grain.
• Assemble gyros by stuffing pita halves with lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and steak. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and serve immediately.

SIRLOIN GYROS

Steps:

• 1. Brown up some sliced red onions and add cut up pieces of sirloin steak and cook til cooked thru. Salt and pepper. Place the meat and onion mixture on a flat whole wheat pita bread. Top with golden raisins, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, minced green onions, sliced black olives and feta cheese. Layer/pile it all up. Make a dressing using a little Ranch powder dressing mix and mayonnaise and lite sour cream, thinned down with a little milk. To the dressing add cut up pieces of cucumber and pour that over the top of the gyro.
