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.
