For the Beef Marinade:
- 1 lb (450 g) beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Juice of 1 lemon
For the Roasted Garlic Feta Sauce:
- 1 head garlic
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp honey (optional, for balance)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Wraps:
- 4 large flatbreads or pita
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/2 cup diced cucumber
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
- Roast the Garlic: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the garlic head to expose the cloves inside. Drizzle the garlic with olive oil, wrap it tightly in foil, and roast in the oven for 30–35 minutes until the cloves are soft and caramelized. Let the garlic cool, then squeeze the roasted cloves out into a small bowl.
- Prepare the Feta Sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted garlic cloves, crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and honey if using. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to your preference, then set aside.
- Marinate and Cook the Beef: In a mixing bowl, toss the thinly sliced beef with olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, ground cumin, lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Allow the beef to marinate for at least 15 minutes to develop flavor, or up to 2 hours if time permits. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the beef slices for 2–3 minutes on each side until nicely browned and cooked through to your liking.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the flatbreads or pita on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the roasted garlic feta sauce over each flatbread. Top evenly with the cooked beef slices, shredded lettuce, thinly sliced red onion, diced cucumber, and halved cherry tomatoes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Roll the wraps tightly and serve immediately for a fresh, flavorful meal.
Notes
- Marinate the beef longer for more intense flavor.
- Use Greek yogurt for a creamy texture and added protein.
- The honey in the sauce is optional, adding a subtle sweetness to balance the tangy feta and lemon.
- Flatbreads or pita can be warmed for a softer texture before assembling.
- These wraps can be customized with additional toppings like olives or tzatziki sauce.
