Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine 1 pound of lamb cubes, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 teaspoons of oregano, minced garlic from 3 cloves, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Mix well to coat the lamb evenly.

2. 2

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate the lamb in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).

   While the grill is heating, prepare the vegetables. Cut 1 medium bell pepper and 1 medium red onion into bite-sized pieces. Slice 1 medium cucumber for serving.

5. 5

   Thread the marinated lamb cubes, bell pepper, and red onion onto skewers, alternating between lamb and vegetables.

6. 6

   Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is browned and cooked to your desired doneness.

7. 7

   While the lamb is grilling, warm 4 pieces of pita bread on the grill for about 1-2 minutes on each side until slightly charred.

8. 8

   Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

9. 9

   Serve the lamb souvlaki on warm pita bread with sliced cucumber and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce.
