In a large, shallow bowl, mix oil, oregano, vinegar, and garlic. Add steak and toss to fully coat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours, flipping the steak halfway through. Remove from fridge at least 1 hour prior to cooking.
Preheat grill, grill pan, or large cast iron skillet, to medium-high heat. Season both sides of steak generously with salt and pepper. Let excess marinade drip off steak and transfer steak to pan. Cook until golden brown, 5-7 minutes per side for medium rare.
Transfer steak to a cutting board and allow meat to rest for 5 minutes. Slice steak into 1/2-inch pieces across the grain.
Assemble gyros by stuffing pita halves with lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and steak. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and serve immediately.
My Top Tip: Allow your steak to come up to room temperature before grilling. I like to take my steak out of the fridge about an hour before I want to cook it. If you place cold steak on a hot grill, it can seize up and become tough or chewy!
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you're ready to eat, reheat in the microwave or on a skillet until warmed through.
