How to Make Ground Beef Gyros
- In a bowl, combine 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup finely chopped cucumber, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover and refrigerate.
- In a separate large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Mix the ground beef mixture well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Shape the ground beef mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
- Grill the patties over medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes, turning once halfway through, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Once cooked, remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing each patty thinly.
- Warm pita bread according to package directions.
- Stuff each pita with the sliced beef patties, lettuce leaves, thinly sliced cucumber, tomato slices, and red onion slices.
- Serve immediately with the chilled cucumber yogurt sauce.
