My review
Grilled Beef Gyros
Lee Rademaker
"A spicy marinade adds zip to these grilled beef slices tucked inside pita bread. Friends from Greece gave us their recipe for the cucumber sauce, which provides a cool contrast to the hot beef. I never have to worry about leftovers when I serve these sandwiches. --Lee Rademaker Hayfork, California"
