- 3 prigs rosemary
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 3 cloves garlic , chopped
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 5 teaspoons wine vinegar

Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, remove all the white membrane that covers the top of the pork, beef or lamb tenderloin. This step is very important, otherwise the meat would remain hard.

- Place the meat in a salad bowl and add the yellow or red onion.
- Add rosemary, oregano, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours and at room temperature (before cooking) for 2 hours.
- Drain the meat completely.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan and add the meat (without the marinade),
- Cook fairly quickly over medium-high heat, stirring regularly (cooking should be fast).
- To serve
- In your pita, add the meat, tzatziki sauce, tomatoes, and scallions.
- Serve with hot French fries.
