greek-style beef pita

You’re gonna need a bigger pita. Season thin-sliced Sirloin with lemon pepper and skillet-cook, then pile it into hummus-filled pita pockets and top with your favorite veggies.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef Sirloin Tip Steaks, cut 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick

  • 1 tablespoon lemon pepper

  • 2 to 3 teaspoons vegetable oil

  • 3/4 cup plain or seasoned hummus

  • 4 whole wheat pita breads, cut crosswise in half

Directions

  1. Stack beef steaks; cut lengthwise in half, then crosswise into 1-inch wide strips. Combine beef and lemon pepper in medium bowl.
  2. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add 1/2 of beef; stir-fry 1 to 3 minutes or until outside surface of beef is no longer pink. (Do not overcook.) Remove from skillet. Repeat with remaining beef, adding remaining 1 teaspoon oil to skillet, if necessary.
  3. Spread hummus evenly in pita pockets. Fill with equal amounts of beef and toppings, as desired.
