Ingredients

• 1 lb Dakota Grass Fed Ground Beef
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
• Salt to taste
• 2 Scallions (white part finely minced and green parts thinly sliced)
• 1 Garlic (small clove, finely minced)
• 1 tbsp Dried Marjoram
• 1 tbsp Fresh Rosemary (finely minced)
• 1 tbsp Fresh Mint (finely minced)
• 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
• Salt & Pepper (to taste)
• 1 cp Grape tomatoes (sliced)
• 2 ozs Feta Cheese (crumbled)
• 5 slices Pita Bread (Sliced in half lengthwise, then cut into 6 slices (12 slices per whole pita).)

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
2. To make the gyro meat, place all gyro meat ingredients (except the sliced scallion greens) in a bowl, season generously with salt and pepper, and combine well.  Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the oil followed by the gyro meat and cook, breaking it up as you go, until it is browned, about 7 minutes.  Cover to keep warm.
3. Place the sliced pitas onto 2 cookie sheets in a single layer, drizzle with the 1 tablespoon oil, then sprinkle generously with salt.  Toss to combine and bake in the oven until crisp, turning once, about 8 minutes.  Remove from the pan and set aside to cool.
