Categories: Sandwiches/Wraps

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper, divided
  • 1 pound flank steak, trimmed
  • 1 large red onion, sliced
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 3 cups thinly sliced vegetables, such as turnips, cucumber and/or radishes
  • 4 6-inch whole-wheat pitas, warmed
  • 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce

Directions

  1. Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler to high. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  2. Combine 1 tablespoon oil, coriander, cumin, thyme, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Brush both sides of steak with the seasoned oil. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Toss onion with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the remaining ¼ teaspoon pepper in a bowl and scatter around the steak.

  3. Broil, turning the steak and stirring the onion halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the steak registers 145°F and the onion is charred, 10 to 15 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, combine water, vinegar, sugar and the remaining ½ teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add vegetables and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat.

  5. Slice the steak and drain the vegetables. Serve in pita bread with the charred onion and tzatziki.
