Ingredients
Scale
For the meat:
- 1/2 cup chicken or beef broth
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (this was one large lemon for me)
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced thin (if you’re an onion lover you could definitely do 2 onions)
- 1 Tbsp dried oregano
- 3/4 tsp allspice
- 4 thick (1 1/2 inches) steak fillets
- 2 Tbsp lemon pepper seasoning
For the tzatziki:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup diced cucumber, seeded and shredded
- 1 Tbsp dried dill or 2 Tbsp fresh dill
- 3/4 kosher tsp salt
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt and pepper
For the assembly:
- Soft pita folds (I always use the Papa Pita brand)
- Sliced grape or cherry tomatoes
- Feta cheese
- Lettuce
Instructions
- Pour broth, lemon juice and red wine vinegar into the Instant Pot. Add in the garlic, onion, oregano and allspice. Stir.
- Place the trivet* on top of the onion/broth mixture. Season each of the steaks with 3/4 tsp of lemon pepper seasoning on each side of the steak. I used my fingers to rub the seasoning into the meat. Place the steaks on the trivet and arrange them so they don’t overlap.
- Secure the lid in place and make sure the valve is set to “sealing.” For steaks more on the rare side set the timer to 3 minutes. For steaks on the medium side set the timer to 4 minutes. While the steak is cooking turn on your oven’s broiler (and you can also prepare your tzatziki sauce). When the timer is up move the valve to venting. Open the lid and place the steaks on a baking sheet. Turn OFF the Instant Pot and move the inner pot to the counter so the onion mixture can cool down.
- Place the steaks in the oven under the broiler for 1 minute. Turn them over and broil on the other side for a minute. Use a thermometer to make sure they are done (medium rare is 130 to 135 degrees F and medium is 140 to 145 degrees F). Loosely cover the steaks with foil and let them rest for 5 minutes. Once they have rested slice the meat and stir it in with the onion mixture. If the onion mixture is too hot it will cook your steaks so make sure it is cooled down.
- Prepare your tzatziki sauce by stirring the yogurt, cucumber, dill, salt and garlic together in a bowl. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Use a slotted spoon to spoon the steak and some of the onions into the middle of a pita, top with tzatziki sauce, tomatoes, feta cheese and lettuce. Roll up and enjoy!
