If you can’t already tell, we are absolutely loving pita pockets and think we might have hit the jackpot with this flavour combo! First, take tender beef strips and sear them up in the frying pan. Then, spread the pita with our creamy pesto dressing, throw in some salad leaves, cooked beef and fetta cubes. It’s super simple and super delicious!

Preparation
1
Bake the fries

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
• Cut potato into fries.
• Place fries on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss 
to coat.
• Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.


TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the fries between two trays.
Little cooks: Help toss the fries! 

2
Bake the pita bread

• When the fries have 5 minutes remaining, bake pita bread directly on a wire oven 
rack until heated through, 2-3 minutes.

3
Cook the beef

• While the pita bread is in the oven, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil
over high heat.
• When oil is hot, cook beef strips, tossing, in batches until browned and cooked 
through, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.


TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over high heat helps it stay tender. 

4
Finish & serve

• In a medium bowl, combine mixed salad leaves and a drizzle of the vinegar and 
olive oil.
• Halve pita bread and spread with some creamy pesto dressing. Fill with salad leaves and beef strips, then crumble over fetta cubes.
• Drizzle over remaining creamy pesto and serve with hand-cut fries. Enjoy!


ELEVATE ME: If you’ve added extra ingredients to this recipe, add semi-dried tomatoes, kalamata olives and parsley to your pita bread to serve.
