Beef Gyros
We prepared these in advance, wrapped in foil and warmed in an oven before dinner. Do not add the cucumber sauce until serving though. We also used one T-Bone steak and it was more than enough meat.
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef round tip steaks, cut 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick
- 1 tablespoon lemon pepper
- 4 pita breads, cut crosswise in half
- 3/4 cup plain or seasoned hummus
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 small cucumber, peeled
- 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
