Beef Pitas with Yogurt Sauce

This is another entry from Taste of Home April/May 2014.  I love Mediterranean food.  It is especially good with fresh herbs.  I am counting down to my herb garden on the deck (which if you've been following along through the winter is finally free of snow).  I bet I can get the kids to eat this.

1 C. fat free plain yogurt
1/4 C. minced fresh parsley
1 garlic clove, minced
1/8 tsp. plus 1/2 tsp. salt divided
1lb. beef top sirloin steak, cut into thin strips
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. minced fresh rosemary
1/4 tsp. pepper
4 tsp. olive oil, divided
1 large sweet onion, sliced (I will probably use a red onion here)
4 whole pitas, warmed

In a small bowl, mix yogurt, parsley, garlic, and 1/8 tsp. salt.  Toss beef with herbs, pepper and remaining salt.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tsp. oil over medium high heat.  Add onion; cook and stir 4-6 minutes or until tender.  Remove from pan.

In same skillet, heat remaining oil over medium high heat.  Add beef; cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until no longer pink.  Serve in pita; top with onions and sauce.
