A spicy marinade adds zip to these grilled beef slices tucked inside pita bread. Friends from Greece gave us their recipe for the cucumber sauce, which provides a cool contrast to the hot beef. I never have to worry about leftovers when I serve these sandwiches. —Lee Rademaker Hayfork, California

Ingredients

1 medium onion, cut into chunks
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1-1/2 teaspoons pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup water
1 beef sirloin tip roast (2 to 3 pounds), cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
CUCUMBER SAUCE:
1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and cut into chunks
4 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
2 cups sour cream
8 to 10 pita breads, warmed and halved
Thinly sliced onion
Chopped tomato

Directions

In a blender, combine the onion, garlic, sugar, mustard, ginger, pepper and cayenne; cover and process until onion is finely chopped. Add soy sauce and water; process until blended.

Place the beef in a shallow dish. Add marinade and turn to coat; cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
For sauce, in a blender; combine the cucumber, garlic and salt; cover and process until cucumber is chopped. Add vinegar and oil; process until blended. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in sour cream. Refrigerate until serving.
Drain and discard marinade. Grill beef, covered, over medium-hot heat until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Place beef in pita halves. Top with cucumber sauce, sliced onion and chopped tomato. Refrigerate any remaining sauce.
