How to Make Beef Gyros In Pita

Slice the 1 lb beef sirloin steak thinly against the grain into 1-inch wide strips.
In a bowl, toss the beef strips with 2 cloves minced garlic and 1 teaspoon dried oregano.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add half of the beef to the skillet and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Remove the cooked beef from the skillet and set aside.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the remaining beef.
Return all the beef to the skillet and heat through for about 1 minute.
Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Warm the pita pockets according to package directions.
Fill each pita pocket with the seasoned beef, sliced tomatoes, red onions, crumbled feta cheese, and a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
