For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the beef strips in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Customize your gyro with your favorite toppings. Consider adding bell peppers, Kalamata olives, or a sprinkle of paprika. Serve the gyros immediately for the best taste and texture. The pita bread can become soggy if left to sit for too long.
