ingredients

1 cup plain yogurt, Greek style (for the dressing)
1 teaspoon dill (for the dressing)
¹⁄₈ teaspoon garlic powder (for the dressing)
¹⁄₂ cucumber (finely chopped for the dressing)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb venison tenderloin (cut into 2-inch X 1/4-inch slices)
2 ¹⁄₂ small red onions
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons oregano
1 pinch salt
4 pita pockets
4 lettuce leaves
8 slices tomatoes

directions

Combine dressing and set aside. This includes: yogurt, dill, garlic powder, and cucumber.
In 12" nonstick skillet, heat oil.
Add garlic, onions, venison, and oregano. Cook for 4-6 minutes.
Make sure the meat is no longer pink. I like to leave the onions a little crunchy. I like to salt the meat a little at this time.
Assemble the pitas and enjoy!
