- 2 lbs lamb

Instructions
Meat
- Slice the lamb down into smaller pieces for grilling.
- Place the pieces of the lamb in a dish and cover them with sliced onion. Cover the lamb with the soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and steak seasoning blend. Let the lamb marinate for 2-24 hours covered in the refrigerator.
- Using a gas or charcoal grill, cook the lamb on each side until the meat is completely cooked through (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- Let the lamb rest for a few minutes. Slice it into small strips.
Tzatziki Sauce and Assembling Gyro
- Dice the scallions into tiny pieces. Peel the cucumbers and remove the seeds. Using a grater, shred the cucumber into small pieces. Squeeze the excess juice from the cucumbers and place them into a medium bowl alongside the scallions. Press the garlic into the bowl, followed by the diced dill, Greek yogurt, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
- Dice the tomatoes, onions, and lettuce.
- To assemble the gyro, place the meat into the middle of the naan or pita. Top the meat with the feta, followed by lettuce, tomatoes, and onions.
- Serve the gyros with a side of tzatziki sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
