Notes
Beef Tip: Cut the chuck roast into large chunks to help it cook evenly and absorb flavor.
Zesty Flavor Boost: Add lemon zest or a splash of red wine vinegar for even more punch.
Pita Choice: Use fluffy Greek-style pitas or flatbreads.
Warm them in a skillet or wrap in foil and heat in the oven for 5 minutes at 350°F.
Veggie Swap: Add chopped kalamata olives or feta cheese for extra Mediterranean flair.
