Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated steak slices for 2-3 minutes per side or until cooked to your liking.
For the tzatziki. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated and drained cucumber, minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Warm the pita bread. Spread a generous dollop of tzatziki over the pita bread.
Add a layer of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onions.
Top with the cooked steak slices.
Fold the pita bread to form a gyro and secure with a toothpick.
Serve the Steak Gyros immediately, with extra tzatziki on the side.
