Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon each dried oregano, ground thyme, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 pitas
Optional toppings: lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced cucumber, sliced red onion, fresh dill and feta cheese
3/4 cup greek yogurt
3/4 cup grated cucumber ((I like to use an English cucumber))
2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Add the ground beef to a skillet over medium-high heat and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add the seasonings and 1/2 cup of water. Simmer over medium heat until the sauce has thickened around the meat, about 5 minutes.
  • While the beef cooks, make the Tzatziki sauce. Start by squeezing the excessive liquid out of the grated cucumber, discarding the liquid. In a small bowl, mix the grated cucumber with the remaining ingredients.
  • To assemble a gyro, layer a pita with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, and ground beef, then finish with tzatziki sauce, fresh dill and feta cheese.

BEEF GYROS

Going out to restaurants got to be expensive for our family, so I came up with this homemade beef gyro. Usually, I set out the fixings so everyone can assemble their own. My husband and our two busy teens request them often. -Sheri Scheerhorn, Hills, Minnesota
