When you want something fresh and flavorful, this steak gyros recipe is a great choice. Juicy grilled steak is sliced thin and layered into warm flatbreads with tomato, onion, feta cheese, and a creamy cucumber sauce. The sauce balances the richness of the steak with cool, tangy notes of garlic and parsley. It’s simple to prepare, easy to customize, and makes a satisfying meal any night of the week.
Why this recipe works
- Simple seasoning: Salt and pepper keep the focus on the natural flavor of the steak while still pairing well with the toppings and sauce.
- Cool sauce: Sour cream, cucumber, garlic, and parsley mix into a creamy dressing that freshens up the wrap and adds balance.
- Classic toppings: Tomato, onion, and feta cheese give each gyro the traditional flavor you’d expect with a Greek-inspired twist.
- Quick cooking: Flank steak grills quickly, and flatbreads warm in minutes, so the meal comes together fast without a lot of effort.
- Easy variation: Swapping in chicken or lamb keeps the recipe flexible while still keeping the gyro-style flavors intact.
Serving suggestions
- Dinner plate: Serve steak gyros with a Greek salad or roasted potatoes for a complete meal that feels balanced and filling.
- Cookout option: Grill the steak outdoors, then assemble the gyros fresh for a dish that fits perfectly into a summer cookout.
- Party food: Slice gyros into smaller pieces and arrange them on a platter for a fun, shareable appetizer at gatherings.
- Lunch prep: Pack leftover steak and flatbreads separately, then build gyros fresh at lunchtime for a convenient and tasty meal.
- Family style: Lay out toppings and sauces at the table so everyone can build their own gyro exactly how they like it.

Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice into strips.
