Gyro steak is a popular Greek dish that is enjoyed as a street food throughout Europe and the United States. The dish is made by marinating thinly sliced flank steaks in a blend of Greek spices and then grilling them on a skewer. The steak is then topped with melted cheese and served with pita bread, tzatziki sauce, and vegetables. The flavor is bold and delicious, with a slightly spicy and tangy taste that is sure to please. The dish can be served for lunch or dinner, and is often paired with a side salad or roasted vegetables.

Instructions

1.	Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
2.	Pound flank steaks with a meat mallet, and then slice against the grain into thin strips.
3.	In a large mixing bowl, combine the steak strips, olive oil, lemon juice, and Greek mixed spice. Mix well to coat the meat evenly.
4.	Allow the steak to marinate in the fridge for at least an hour.
5.	Once marinated, skewer the steak strips onto wooden skewers.
6.	Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness.
7.	Sprinkle the grated cheese on top of the cooked steak and let it melt before serving.
