Cooking Steps

PDF

Preheat the oven (for the pitas) to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Halve and peel the onion. Thinly slice half (double for 4p).
Mix chopped onion, vinegar, ½ tsp sugar (double for 4p) and a splash of water in a bowl. Leave to pickle.
Trim half the cucumber (double for 4p). Quarter lengthways. Chop widthways into small pieces.
Trim and grate the carrot (unpeeled). Thinly slice the tomato.

TIP: Warm the pitas in the toaster if you prefer.

Place a large pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil.
Once hot, add the beef strips and season with cumin, salt and pepper.
Fry until browned, 5-7 mins, shifting as they colour. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat and its packaging. Meat is safe to eat when the outside is browned.

To make the tzatziki, mix the yoghurt with a drizzle of oil in a bowl and stir through the cucumber. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
In a separate bowl, mix the grated carrot and salad leaves together with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of pepper.
Pop the pita into the oven or toaster to warm through, 1-2 mins.
Drain the pickled onion.

Slice the pita in half and carefully open the pockets.
Serve the salad, pickled onion, tomato and beef strips in different bowls so everyone can assemble their pitas at the table.
Finish each with a generous dollop of tzatziki.
