1/2 teaspoon black pepper
08 -
1 teaspoon salt
09 -
1 teaspoon dried oregano

Juice from 2 lemons
11 -
4 garlic cloves, minced
12 -
1.4–1.8 kg (about 3–4 lbs) beef chuck roast, chopped in big chunks
13 -
1 red onion, sliced up
14 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Pile that beef onto the warm pitas with a slotted spoon. Stack on diced cukes, lettuce, tomato, and onions—finish it all off with a dollop of tzatziki, or whatever you like best.
02 -
Want the pitas soft and a bit toasty? Lightly brush them with olive oil, toss them in a skillet, and let each side get a quick char over medium-high—just about 10–15 seconds per side.
03 -
Pop the lid off and use a couple forks to tear the beef apart right in the cooker.
04 -
Put on the lid and let that beef go on low for about 8 hours, or until it’s super tender and easy to pull apart.
05 -
Put those big beef pieces onto the sliced onions. Then sprinkle the garlic over the top. Splash on the lemon juice, and hit it with oregano, salt, and pepper.
06 -
Pour olive oil all over the bottom of your slow cooker, then spread out the red onions on there.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Stash leftover beef in a sealed container in the fridge for five days, or freeze it if you want it to last closer to three months.
