with rice or pitta

Wash the meat, pat dry, and cut into thin strips. Peel and finely dice the garlic. Mix together the gyros seasoning, oil, lemon zest, and 1/3 of the garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Mix into the meat, cover, and chill for at least 1 hour, preferably 3-4 hours. Peel and finely dice the onion. Wash the cucumber, peel if desired, and slice into fine sticks. Mix together the yogurt, onion, half the cucumber, and the remaining garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Add the rice to 400 ml of boiling salted water, cover, and simmer over low heat until softened. Trim and wash the lettuce and spring onions. Peel and wash the carrots. Finely chop everything. Fry the meat in a non-stick pan without fat for about 5 minutes until browned all over. Season the lettuce and vegetables with salt and pepper. Serve with the rice and meat and top with tzatziki. I personally prefer homemade pitta, which I fill as follows. 1. Salad 2. Meat, on top finely diced tomatoes, cucumber, thin onion rings, possibly very finely crumbled feta cheese and finally tzatziki If you like it spicy, season the meat in the bread with chili flakes.
