1. Combine garlic cloves, lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper in a bowl.
2. Add the beef and stir well to coat.
3. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight.

Ingredients for Tzatziki:

• ¾ cup Greek yogurt
• 1 ½ tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 1-2 garlic cloves, grated
• salt and pepper
• 1 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• ½ English cucumber

To prepare Tzatziki:

1. Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise and use a small spoon to scoop out the seeds. Use a box grater on the smaller side and grate the cucumber. Place the grated cucumber in a fine mesh strainer set over a bowl and use the back of a spoon to press out as much liquid as possible (should end up with about 2 Tbsp of grated cucumber).
2. In a bowl, combine yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice and zest, grated garlic, fresh dill, salt and pepper.
3. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Grill the beef over medium-high heat on indoor or outdoor grill until done.  Serve warm with tzatziki and pita.

Enjoy!
