Savory Slow Cooker Beef Gyros served with Tzatziki Sauce, perfect for a delicious meal.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast, trimmed and cut into large chunks
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 8 pita breads
- 1 cup tzatziki sauce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- ½ cup sliced red onion
Instructions
- In a slow cooker, combine the beef chunks, sliced onion, and minced garlic.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Pour this mixture over the beef and onion.
- Add the beef broth and red wine vinegar to the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
- Once cooked, shred the beef directly in the slow cooker using two forks, mixing it with the juices.
- Serve the shredded beef in warm pita breads, topped with tzatziki sauce, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and sliced red onion.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the spice mixture.
- For a lighter option, serve the beef over a salad instead of in pita bread.
