Instructions

Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add sliced steak and toss well. Marinate for 15–30 minutes.
Cook the Steak: Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat. Cook steak in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until browned, juicy, and slightly charred. Remove from heat and rest briefly.
Prepare the Tzatziki Feta Sauce: In a blender or bowl, mix Greek yogurt, feta, grated cucumber, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and black pepper until creamy with a little texture.
Assemble the Gyros: Warm the pita bread. Fill with steak slices. Add tomatoes, red onion, and any optional veggies. Spoon generously with tzatziki feta sauce. Finish with fresh herbs. Serve immediately while warm and juicy.
