Pour this marinade over the meat and rub all over; making sure marinade has coated both sides. Cover well with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
- Grill beef, covered, over medium-hot heat until meat reaches desired doneness, about 10 minutes per side. Check periodically for desired doneness. Once meat is done, cover loosely with foil and allow meat to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Slice against the grain and assemble onto warmed pitas. Top with sliced onion, chopped tomatoes and Tzatziki sauce. Serve immediately.
