How To Make Our Instant Pot Beef Gyros:
To begin this family favorite recipe, pour the beef broth into the bottom of the Instant Pot.
Then, place the beef roast into the Instant Pot as well, and top it with the sliced onions.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Once that is all mixed together, pour it over top of the beef roast.
Now, just place the lid on the Instant Pot and press the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK button, and set the timer for 60 minutes or 20 minutes per pound of roast.
When the timer is done, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release the pressure for at least 10 minutes, but 20 minutes is preferred.
Let the rest of the pressure out by turning the valve to the VENTING position and remove the lid from the Instant Pot.
Remove the beef from the Instant Pot to a cutting board and slice or shred the beef and serve it on pitas with cucumbers, tomatoes, and your homemade tzatziki sauce.
How To Make Our Homemade Tzatziki Sauce:
Take the cucumber and shred or grate it.
Once the cucumber is shredded, use a piece of paper towel to blot it and remove as much moisture as possible.
Then, mix together the yogurt, shredded cucumber, garlic, vinegar, and lemon juice.
After those ingredients have all been mixed together, add in the dill, salt, and pepper to your preferred tastes.
Store it in the fridge for a least 30 minutes before serving it to allow the flavors to develop.
To Make Our Beef Gyros With Tzatziki Sauce You Will Need:
- Instant Pot (I like THIS one!)

How to turn this into a freezer meal:
- Place roast, beef broth, and onion, into a gallon-sized freezer bag.
- In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic, oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Pour olive oil mixture over the roast. Place freezer bag into freezer and it will last up to 90 days.
- When ready to use, dump ingredients from bag into Instant Pot and add 1/2 cup of beef broth or water in with the frozen food.
- Place the lid on top, move the valve to SEALING, and press the MANUAL button. Set timer for 90 minutes (or 30 minutes per pound of your roast).
- Do a NATURAL RELEASE when the timer is done – I even like to let it sit in the Instant Pot for a few hours so that it falls apart so easily. Follow the rest of the instructions as written.

Instant Pot Beef Gyros Recipe
Melt-in-your-mouth tender meat seasoned with Greek seasonings and a homemade Tzatziki sauce on top. Perfection!
- ½ cup beef broth
- 3 pounds beef roast (a rump roast or chuck roast works great)
- 1 onion thinly sliced
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 4 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 3 Tablespoons lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cucumber sliced
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 2 roma tomatoes diced
- 8 pita breads
Homemade Tzatziki Sauce
- 16 ounces plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cucumber peeled and seeded
- 1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon dried dill weed
- salt and pepper to taste
-
Pour beef broth into the bottom of the Instant Pot.
-
Place beef roast in the Instant Pot. Top with sliced onions.
-
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic, oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
-
Pour olive oil mixture over the roast.
-
Place lid on pot and press MANUAL (or PRESSURE COOK) and set timer for 60 minutes (you want to cook beef roasts at a high pressure for 20 minutes per pound).
-
Allow 10-15 minutes to come to pressure before it starts the countdown cook timer.
-
Once it is finished cooking, do a natural release of the pressure for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes is ideal). Remove the lid.
-
Slice or shred the beef and serve on pitas with cucumbers, tomatoes, and homemade tzatziki sauce.
To Make Tzatziki Sauce:
-
Shred or grate the cucumber and blot with a paper towel to get rid of as much moisture as possible.
-
Mix together the yogurt, shredded cucumbers, garlic, vinegar and lemon juice. Add dill and salt and pepper to taste.
-
Keep in the fridge until serving (it's best if you let the flavors come together for about 30 minutes before serving).
- Homemade Tzatziki is really easy to make, but store bought tzatziki is great as well.
- You can also use ranch or cucumber ranch dressing in place of the tzatziki.
- Serve this with hummus, pita chips, and fresh vegetables for dipping in the hummus.
