First off.. thank you to @bbqtvtv.com a.k.a tom for his greek seasoning recipe found on his profile in wich I used for this recipe.
2

Thirdly: thank you to @taylor68too for her added seasoning suggestions! Now let's get to cooking!
4

Remove bones from meat and rinse under cool water. Pat dry.
5

Slice meat into thin 1/4 inch slices and each slice should be about 1-2 inches long.

Cover bowl and refridgerate for 1 hour to soak. Tossing every 15 minutes or so.
9

In a large skillet, heat oil.
10

Toss in meat mixture with all the marinade.
11

Fry, tossing frequently until outsides of meat is seared and insides are still slightly pink. About 5-10 minutes.
12

Drain meat from juices and set meat aside but keep warm. Reserve juices.
13

In another skiller heat until hot.
14

Lightly brush pitas with a bit of the reserved drippings/juices. This will give pitas a nice flavor.
