Grilled Skirt Steak Gyros adapted from this recipe from the Food Network Magazine

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

1/2 cup 2% plain Greek yogurt

1 onion, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rounds

1 pound skirt steak

4 pocketless pitas

1 tomato, chopped

1 bunch watercress, roughly chopped

Preheat a grill to medium high. 

To make the marinade:  whisk the olive oil, garlic, oregano, paprika, 1 tsp. salt, and pepper to taste in a large bowl.  Transfer 1 tbsp. of the marinade to a small bowl.  Mix in the yogurt and 1 tbsp. water.  Set aside.  Add onions and steak to the bowl with the remaining marinade and toss.

Grill the onion and steak, turning once, until lightly charred, about 4 minutes per side for the onions and 4 to 8 minutes per side for the steak (depending on the thickness). Set aside to rest, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, grill the pitas until grill marks develop, about 1 minute per side.
