Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 seedless cucumber (usually plastic-wrapped), peeled, seeded, and chopped (1 cup)
1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
4 (6-inch) pita pockets , halved crosswise
1 (1/4-inch- thick) bone-in lamb steak from leg (1 1/2 lb), trimmed of excess fat
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 lb romaine , torn into bite-size pieces
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 seedless cucumber (usually plastic-wrapped), peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives , halved lengthwise
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil

Directions:

Make tsatsiki sauce: Purée cucumber, yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a blender until almost smooth, about 1 minute. Stir in mint and chill, covered, until serving.
Make lamb sandwiches: Preheat broiler.
Wrap pitas in foil and put in lower third of oven to warm while broiling lamb.
Put lamb on oiled rack of a broiler pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil lamb 5 to 6 inches from heat, turning over once, 12 to 14 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes, then thinly slice.
While lamb is standing, toss together salad ingredients in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
Stuff warm pita pockets with salad and lamb, then drizzle filling with tsatsiki sauce.
