Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds pork shoulder steaks or pork sirloin, thinly sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 to 2 1/2 tbsp Gyros Rhodos seasoning
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 large pita breads or flatbreads
1 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/2 cup diced cucumber
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup prepared tzatziki sauce
Fresh parsley for garnish
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Gyros Rhodos seasoning, and minced garlic.
Add the pork and toss thoroughly to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Overnight marinating produces the most authentic flavor.
Preheat a large cast iron skillet, grill pan, flat top griddle, or outdoor grill over medium high heat.
Allow excess marinade to drip off before cooking to encourage better browning.
Cook the pork in a single layer without overcrowding the cooking surface.
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until well browned and the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Transfer the pork to a cutting board and allow it to rest for 3 minutes.
Slice the pork very thinly across the grain. Return the sliced pork to the hot skillet and cook for 1 to 2 additional minutes, stirring occasionally, to develop crispy caramelized edges similar to traditional gyro meat.
Warm the pita breads for 1 to 2 minutes on the grill, in a skillet, or in the oven.
Spread a generous layer of prepared tzatziki sauce onto each pita. For best results, use our Authentic Tzatziki with Wurzpott Tzatziki Seasoning recipe.
Top with the crispy pork, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, and parsley.
Fold and serve immediately.
Serve with Greek roasted potatoes, lemon rice, Greek salad, grilled vegetables, hummus, or Mediterranean rice bowls.
