directions

1. Combine garlic powder, oregano and salt. Press 1-1/2 teaspoon of the seasoning into both sides of beef steaks. In a bowl, add the rest of the seasoning to the Italian dressing, feta and olives.
2. Cut pitas horizontally in half. Brush inner surfaces of pita halves evenly with 3 tablespoons of dressing mixture; reserve remaining dressing mixture. Cut each pita half into 8 wedges. Place wedges, cut sides up, in single layer on large baking sheet. Bake 12 to 15 minutes at 350 degrees, or until lightly browned.
3. Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add steaks and cook 12 to 15 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, turning once. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
4. In a large bowl, combine the salad greens, cucumber, red onion and reserved dressing mixture. Trim the fat from steaks. Carve steaks crosswise into thin slices; add to salad and toss. Serve with pita wedges.
