I am looking for a recipe for Clean Gyros. It was featured in Clean Eating magazine this month but I misplaced my magazine. I don't want to buy it again. Does anyone have a recipe for Clean Gyros? The one from the magazine or another one? Was hoping to make for dinner tonight....

    Better late then never - I think this is what you're looking for....

    Serves 4.

    INGREDIENTS
    1 tbsp fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped, or 1 tsp dried oregano
    1/4 tsp ground cumin
    1/2 tsp paprika
    1/4 tsp ground black-pepper
    1 clove garlic, crushed
    1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
    2 tsp olive oil, divided
    1 lb eye round beef steak, trimmed of visible fat and sliced into 4 4-oz lean beef tenderloins
    Olive oil cooking spray
    1 large red onion, thinly sliced
    2 medium sweet peppers (red or green) thinly sliced
    4 whole-wheat pitas
    2 medium tomatoes, coarsely chopped
    1 cup Tatziki (recipe below)

    DIRECTIONS
    In a small bowl, mix together oregano, cumin, paprika, black pepper, garlic, lemon juice and 1 tsp oil. Rub mixture onto steaks, place in zip-top bag and let marinate for 30 minutes or overnight.

    Preheat broiler to high. Place steaks on a foil-lined baking sheet misted with cooking spray, or stoneware, and broil for 7 to 10 minutes. When done, remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes; slice thinly.

    Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tsp oil in a small sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and sweet peppers and cook until soft, about 7 to 10 minutes. Set aside.

    To assemble, cut pitas in half, open pocket and palce 2 oz. steak, 1/2 cup sweet pepper-onion mixture and 1/2 cup tomatoes in each pita half. Top each with 2 tbsp Tatziki.

    TATZIKI
    (Cucumber Yogurt)
    Makes 3 cups

    2 medium cucumbers, peeled and seeded
    2 cups nonfat plain Greek-style yogurt
    1 clove garlic, smashed
    1 tbsp fresh dill, finely minced
    1 tbsp fresh mint, finely minced
    1/8 tsp sea salt
    1/4 tsp pepper
    1/4 tsp red wine vinegar

    Mix it all, and refrigerate.

    I don't have the nutritional information though so you'll need to calculate it.
