Ingredients

Steak & Marinade

  • 1 to 1 ½ lb top sirloin steak, cut into thin strips
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Greek all-purpose seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large onions, sliced
  • 8 fresh baby portabella mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil or canola oil, divided

Wraps

  • Soft pita bread (number depends on servings)
  • Optional: lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber slices, feta cheese

Instructions

1. Caramelize the Onions

  • Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Add butter and 2 tablespoons of oil.
  • Add sliced onions and stir frequently. Cook low and slow for 30 minutes, adjusting heat to prevent burning.

2. Prepare and Cook the Steak

  • In a large bowl or zip-top bag, combine steak strips, oregano, Greek seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix to coat evenly.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak in batches, 1–2 minutes per side, until cooked to your preference. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Remove steak and set aside.

3. Cook the Mushrooms

  • In the same skillet, sauté sliced mushrooms until tender, about 3–4 minutes.

4. Assemble the Pita Wraps

  • Warm pita bread.
  • Layer steak, caramelized onions, and sautéed mushrooms.
  • Add optional fresh vegetables like lettuce, tomato, cucumber, or feta cheese.
  • Fold pita and serve immediately.

Tips

  • Caramelizing onions low and slow brings out their natural sweetness.
  • Use high-quality top sirloin steak for tender, juicy strips.
  • Customize wraps with your favorite vegetables or Greek-style toppings.
  • Great for make-ahead meal prep: store steak and onions separately and assemble fresh before serving.
