It’s time to bust out your grill because I’ve got your new favorite beef kebabs! Today we are grilling up some flavor packed Beef Souvlaki Kebobs with a Tzatziki Sauce that will rock your backyard barbecue. Souvlaki is a popular Greek fast food that consists of small pieces of meat that are grilled on a skewer over a hot open flame.
I am serving it the traditional way with pita bread and tons of tzatziki. Tzatziki is a Greek sauce typically served with grilled meat that is made with yogurt (dairy free in this recipe), olive oil, garlic, dill, and loads of chopped cucumber. It’s basically the best way to top off any kebab, hands down. The combination of the sizzling hot beef with the refreshing tzatziki in a soft pita makes for a delicious bite!
