- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Gluten-free pita bread
- 1 cup tzatziki sauce
- 1 cup sliced cucumbers
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
Instructions
- Prepare the steak by patting it dry with paper towels to ensure proper seasoning and browning.
- In a small bowl, mix oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create a seasoning blend.
- Evenly coat the sliced steak with the prepared seasoning mixture, massaging the spices into the meat.
- Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add a small amount of cooking oil.
- Cook the seasoned steak slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Aim for a nice golden-brown exterior.
- Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 3-5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- While the steak is resting, warm the gluten-free pita bread in a separate pan or toaster.
- Prepare the gyro assembly by spreading a generous layer of tzatziki sauce on the warmed pita bread.
- Layer the cooked steak slices on top of the tzatziki sauce.
- Add sliced cucumbers and chopped tomatoes on top of the steak.
- Fold the pita bread to create a wrap, securing the ingredients inside.
- Slice the gyro in half diagonally and serve immediately while warm.
Tips
- Choose the Right Cut of Steak: For the best flavor and tenderness, opt for cuts like sirloin or flank steak. These cuts are perfect for quick cooking and will give you that mouthwatering bite.
- Don’t Skip the Resting Time: After cooking, let your steak rest for a few minutes. This crucial step allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is juicy and flavorful.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Add sliced red onions, bell peppers, or even feta cheese to elevate your gyro experience.
- Make Your Own Tzatziki: If you have the time, try making your own tzatziki sauce. Freshly grated cucumber and garlic will take your gyros to the next level!
- Warm the Pita Properly: For the best texture, warm your gluten-free pita in a pan or toaster just until it’s pliable. This will make wrapping your gyro much easier and more enjoyable.
- Serve Immediately: Gyros are best enjoyed fresh! Assemble and serve them right after cooking to savor the warm, delicious flavors.
