How To Make Our Instant Pot Beef Gyros:
To begin this family favorite recipe, pour the beef broth into the bottom of the Instant Pot.
Then, place the beef roast into the Instant Pot as well, and top it with the sliced onions.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Once that is all mixed together, pour it over top of the beef roast.
Now, just place the lid on the Instant Pot and press the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK button, and set the timer for 60 minutes or 20 minutes per pound of roast.
When the timer is done, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release the pressure for at least 10 minutes, but 20 minutes is preferred.
Let the rest of the pressure out by turning the valve to the VENTING position and remove the lid from the Instant Pot.
Remove the beef from the Instant Pot to a cutting board and slice or shred the beef and serve it on pitas with cucumbers, tomatoes, and your homemade tzatziki sauce.
How To Make Our Homemade Tzatziki Sauce:
Take the cucumber and shred or grate it.
Once the cucumber is shredded, use a piece of paper towel to blot it and remove as much moisture as possible.
Then, mix together the yogurt, shredded cucumber, garlic, vinegar, and lemon juice.
After those ingredients have all been mixed together, add in the dill, salt, and pepper to your preferred tastes.
Store it in the fridge for a least 30 minutes before serving it to allow the flavors to develop.
