Greek Kabobs with Tzatziki and Warm Pitas


One of my favorite things to eat is Tzatziki and Warm Pita bread. It is really good! So I decided to make a meal out of it.

For the kabobs I buy a Top Sirloin steak. Then I cut it into cubes and put it on wood kabob skewers. I alternate pieces of steak on the skewers with whole mushrooms, bellpeppers, and onion. I use whole crimini mushrooms because when they cook they are still hearty and a nice size. If you half them or use white mushrooms they seem to wilt a lot more and don't taste as good. I love crimini's because they have a meaty flavor and they go well with steak. Once the kabobs are ready Matt takes them out and grills them 3 minutes on each side. Make sure to oil the grill or they will stick! I always prepare the Tzatziki several hours in advance. This is so all the flavors can meld together. It's a simple mixture of yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, dill, and lemon juice. Some people say to use Greek Yogurt but I don't think you need to. I just use Yoplait plain yogurt and it turns out really well. Once the kabobs are done you just take them off the skewers and put them in the pita and top with tzatziki. Opa!
