    This is the way I do souvlaki or shish kebab - and I mean the sandwich with pita bread you can find on nearly every street corner in Greece, not just the skewered meat. This is the best! Prep time does not include marinating time. OAMC instructions provided.

    Steps

    1
    Done

    To Marinate Meat: Cut Tenderloin Into Bite-Size Chunks and Put Into a Tupperware With Remaining Marinade Ingredients.

    2
    Done

    Swish Everything Around to Distribute, Put in Fridge and Forget For a Day (this Long Marination Is not Absolutely Necessary- but Longer Means More Flavour. If You Haven't the Time, Just Do What You Can).

    3
    Done

    When Ready to Bbq, Skewer Meat Onto Metal or Wooden Skewers (remember to Soak the Wooden Skewers in Water For at Least 1/2 an Hour First) and Bbq Until the Meat Is Nicely Brown All Over, and You Know You Can't Possibly Wait Any Longer to Eat.

    4
    Done

    to Prepare the Fixings: as You Are Barbecuing the Meat, Brush as Many Pita Breads as There Are Souvlaki Generously With Olive Oil and Put on the Bbq to Crisp Slightly or Alternatively, Into a Hot Frying Pan, and Cook About 30-45 Seconds Per Side or Until Starting to Brown and Give Off a Yummy,'toasty' Smell.

    5
    Done

    Here Is the 'technique' Part.

    6
    Done

    Have Cut Some Squares of Foil a Bit Larger Than the Pita Breads.

    7
    Done

    Put a Square in the Palm of Your Hand and Lay a Pita in the Centre Sitting in Your Flat Palm.

    8
    Done

    Take a Skewer of Meat and Place in Center of Pita.

    9
    Done

    Squeeze Palm Shut Around Meat to Get a Grip With the Pita and Pull Out Skewer, Leaving Meat Inside the Bread.

    10
    Done

    Open Up Your Palm Slightly, Making the Pita Gape Open and Throw in Some Onion, Slices of Tomato, a Good Dollop of Tzatziki, Some Parsley, Along With a Healthy Shake of Salt.
