- 1 large garlic minced, clove
- salt to taste - I used about 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 tablespoon pepper
- black pepper to taste - I used about 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 tablespoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon thyme ground
- 2 teaspoons oregano dried
- 2 bay leaf
- 3 pounds sirloin steak or any other steak that is good for grilling
for the salad-
- 1 English cucumber diced, whole
- 3 tomato diced, medium sized
- 1/4 red onion sliced thinly, whole
- 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
for the salad dressing-
- 4 tablespoons olive oil light
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste

Instructions
- In a large plastic food storage bag, combine all ingredients for the marinade. Place meat inside bag, seal and move around to coat meat in marinade. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- An hour before grilling, remove meat from fridge.
- Preheat grill to medium high heat.
- Dice up veggies for salad and place into a large bowl. Toss in cheese. In a small bowl, stir all ingredients together for salad dressing. Pour dressing over veggies and stir to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Place meat on grill and cover. Cook about 7 minutes per side or until done to your liking. {My meat was thick so, I cooked mine a little bit longer.} While meat is cooking, wrap pitas in foil and place on the grill to warm. Remove meat from the grill to a clean plate and cover with foil to let meat rest. Slice meat thinly against the grain and place on serving platter. Remove salad from fridge. Remove pitas from the grill.
- To serve, cut pita in half and open up pocket. Place in slices of warm steak, greek salad and top with more feta cheese and parsley if desired.
