To begin with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have greek style beef and pita sandwich using 15 ingredients and 12 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Greek Style Beef and Pita Sandwich:

Steps to make Greek Style Beef and Pita Sandwich:
- You can buy, or make your own tzatziki sauce, I happen to like this one https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/356322-tzatziki-sauce
- Slice your beef into nice strips for eating. I am using tenderized steaks here. I like a 1/4 inch square slice (give or take)
- Mix the cut beef with the Greek seasoning. Don't use a heavy salt based seasoning or it may be to salty. This one has very little to no salt in it, and works great.
- Allow meat to sit for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
- Mix the first 5 ingredients (crispy coating) in a bowl large enough to hold the meat
- Put the meat in the bowl with the crispy coating, mix well
- Prep your sandwich fixings
- Add about 1/8 inch or so oil to a pan on medium to medium high heat. You want the oil to come up about 1/3 the way of your beef pieces.
- Place the meat strips in the pan, do not crowd them our they will stick together. Fry about 1 1/2 minutes, flip over, fry another 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
- Remove cooked strips to a paper towel, cook the remaining in like method. Do not over cook beef, it will become tough, and hard to eat in a sandwich.
- I like to microwave my Pita bread about 30 seconds each, to warm and soften them.
- Assembly your sandwiches and enjoy.
How to Boost Your Mood with Food
In general, people have been trained to think that “comfort” foods are bad for the body and have to be avoided. But if your comfort food is candy or junk food this is true. Other times, comfort foods can be utterly healthy and good for us to consume. There are a number of foods that actually can improve your moods when you eat them. If you feel a little bit down and you’re in need of a happiness pick me up, try some of these.
Eggs, you may be surprised to find out, are great at combating depression. You should see to it, though, that what you make includes the egg yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, the egg yolks particularly, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can truly help you boost your mood. This is because these vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that dictate your mood–run better. Try eating an egg and cheer up!
Make several trail mix of nuts or seeds. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all great for helping to raise your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have a lot of magnesium which boosts your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical that dictates to your brain how you feel at all times. The more of it in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Nuts, on top of elevating your mood, can be a super protein source.
If you would like to fight depression, try eating some cold water fish. Wild salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and tuna are all high in omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that truly help the grey matter in your brain work a lot better. It’s true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you fight depression.
It’s not difficult to fight your bad mood when you consume grains. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all really wonderful for helping raise your happiness levels. These foods can help you feel full for longer also, which can help your mood too. It’s not hard to feel a little bit off when you are starving! These grains can elevate your mood since it’s not at all difficult for your body to digest them. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps kick start a rise in your sugar levels which in turn brings up your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is actually good for your mood. You just knew it had to be mentioned in this article, right? Green tea is found to be rich in an amino acid known as L-theanine. Research has found that this amino acid stimulates the production of brain waves. This helps improve your mental energy while at the same time relaxing the rest of your body. You already knew that green tea helps you be a lot healthier. Now you know that green tea can improve your mood also!
Now you can see that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you want to help your moods get better. Try some of these suggestions instead.
