Ingredients
- 1½ pounds NY strip flank, skirt, sirloin, thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon hot paprika
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt + ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions
- MARINADE: In a bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, red wine vinegar, paprika, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Allow the steak to marinade for a minimum of 1 hour and ideally, overnight.
- SEAR: Remove the steak from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the marinaded steak and sear it off; about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove the meat to a plate and continue searing the remaining steak the same way.
- PREP: Warm the pitas in a skillet. Then toss the onions, tomatoes, and some fresh parsley if desired with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- ASSEMBLE: Top warm pitas with the steak, french fries, tomato, and onion salad, and add a dollop of tzatziki on top, wrap up, and serve warm!
Notes
- Tzatziki Sauce: Add ½ cup grated cucumbers to bowl, season 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Let the cucumbers sit for 10 minutes. In a separate bowl, combine 1 clove of minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of olive oil using the back of a spoon mash the garlic into the olive oil. Then add the yogurt and 1 teaspoon of dried dill and stir. Drain cucumbers in a tea towel and wring out excess moisture. Add to yogurt and stir. Taste and season with the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt if desired as well as up to 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Keep sauce refrigerated until ready to serve.
