How to Make Beef Pitas With Yogurt Sauce
- **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.
- **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.
- 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).
- **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.
- **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.
- **Assemble the Pitas:** Serve the beef and onions on warmed pita bread. Top generously with the chilled yogurt sauce and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
