I wanted to try my hand at a gyros type sandwich, with Greek flavors, but using easy to find ingredients. This turned out very good, we have had this a couple times now, so I thought I would share.

Steps

25 mins

1

You can buy, or make your own tzatziki sauce, I happen to like this one https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/356322-tzatziki-sauce
2

Slice your beef into nice strips for eating. I am using tenderized steaks here. I like a 1/4 inch square slice (give or take)
3

Mix the cut beef with the Greek seasoning. Don't use a heavy salt based seasoning or it may be to salty. This one has very little to no salt in it, and works great.
4

Allow meat to sit for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
5

Mix the first 5 ingredients (crispy coating) in a bowl large enough to hold the meat
6

Put the meat in the bowl with the crispy coating, mix well
7

Prep your sandwich fixings
8

Add about 1/8 inch or so oil to a pan on medium to medium high heat. You want the oil to come up about 1/3 the way of your beef pieces.
9

Place the meat strips in the pan, do not crowd them our they will stick together. Fry about 1 1/2 minutes, flip over, fry another 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
10

Remove cooked strips to a paper towel, cook the remaining in like method. Do not over cook beef, it will become tough, and hard to eat in a sandwich.
11

I like to microwave my Pita bread about 30 seconds each, to warm and soften them.
12

Assembly your sandwiches and enjoy.

My wife is disabled, she has M.S. And she finds it hard to cook from her wheelchair. I like a variety of foods, but hate tomatoes, so you don't see too many of my recipes with tomatoes on them. Also both of us have type II diabetes, so high carb and sweet is usually not on the menu either. We have one married daughter, and one that now lives in the Seattle area. We live in Texas, USA with our two dogs.Sorry I have not posted in awhile. Been taking chemo and radiation. and it has taken some out of me. Doctor says it seems to be working, so there is that.
