Pork Gyros

Soft pita bread topped with tender pork, sautéed onions, fresh veggies, tzatziki sauce, and feta cheese is definitely a dinner to look forward to. I always make gyros with my absolute favorite Tzatziki Sauce. Marinating the meat is the key to tender, juicy pork. I marinate mine the night before so it only takes 20 minutes to throw everything together when I get home from work.

Pork Gyros

You can marinate the pork and onions overnight or just an hour before cooking!

Ingredients

  

Pork

• 1 pound pork tenderloin cut into thin slices
• 1 large onion cut into thin slices
• 1 tbsp oregano
• 1 tsp ground thyme
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves minced
• 2 tsp honey
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper

To Serve

• 4 pieces pita
• 1 cucumber thinly sliced
• 2 tomatoes thinly sliced
• 14 oz can of artichoke hearts
• 4 oz feta
• Tzatziki Sauce to taste

Instructions

 

• In a large bag or container mix the pork, onion, oregano, thyme, red wine vinegar, olive oil, garlic, honey, salt, and pepper.
• Place in the fridge and marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Once ready to cook, heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and onions, cooking for about 8-9 minutes, until the onions become soft, and the pork is no longer pink.
• Drain the excess liquid and add the pork and onions back into the skillet. Continue to mix, cooking until the pork begins to brown about 3 minutes.
• Serve on top of a piece of pita with tzatziki sauce, and toppings like tomato, cucumber, feta, and artichoke hearts.

Notes

I like to put my pita in the toaster oven for a few minutes to soften up before building my gyro. 

There’s almost no such thing as too much tzatziki sauce. Never.
