How to Make Beef Pitas With Yogurt Sauce

  1. **Make the Yogurt Sauce:** In a small bowl, combine 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
  2. **Marinate the Beef:** In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Add 1 pound thinly sliced beef (sirloin or flank steak recommended) to the bag. Seal and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes (or longer for deeper flavor).
  4. **Sauté the Onions:** In a large nonstick skillet, sauté 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, in 2 teaspoons olive oil until golden brown (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and keep warm.
  5. **Cook the Beef:** Add the marinated beef to the same skillet and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes per side, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  6. **Assemble the Pitas:** Serve the beef and onions on warmed pita bread. Top generously with the chilled yogurt sauce and enjoy!
