Greek Gyros

This past weekend, all the Skillings were in Athens for a 5K race :)  Mamby was the best hostess, and we all had a wonderful time. Since we had to turn in early on Friday night, we cooked dinner at Mamby and III's house. The boys love red meat, and we all love flank steak, so we made Greek gyros with homemade tzatziki sauce. They are very easy to make, and it gave Mom, Mamby, and I an excuse to hang out together in the kitchen on Friday afternoon! This recipe fed seven adults, and left enough for plenty of leftovers:

Tzatziki Sauce:

2 English Cucumbers
4 cloves garlic, minced finely
1 pint of Sour Cream
Kosher salt and pepper

Peel the cucumbers and slice into thin circles using a mandolin, or the slicing side of a cheese grater.  In a large bowl, place one thin layer of cucumbers in the bottom. Top with a little minced garlic and sprinkle with kosher salt. Continue layering the cucumbers, garlic, and kosher salt until all the cucumber slices are gone. Cover with Saran Wrap and put in your fridge for a couple of hours. Remove from fridge - taking a handful of the cucumber slices at a time, squeeze all the water from them over the sink - continue with the rest, and place onto a cutting board. Finely chop the cucumbers, and add the sour cream and a good helping of cracked pepper. Store in fridge until you are ready to use.

Gyros:

2 Flank Steaks marinated (I use the marinade we posted earlier in the blog - soy/honey/dijon, etc.)
2 packages of flat bread
2 tomatoes, diced
1 Vidalia onion, diced
Shredded lettuce
Feta cheese
Tzatziki Sauce

Broil or grill flank steak to your desired temperature. Place all of the listed ingredients on top of a piece of flat bread and enjoy!
Best dishes :)

Dinner looked so good that Stormy had to make a plate for himself!
