Gyro Sandwiches

I don't make a lot of sandwiches around here. I'm not sure why because I love a good sandwich. Hey...I've even been known to chow down on a cookie spread and jam sandwich when I'm desperate for something sweet! These gyros were pretty fun. I didn't have the stuff to make a traditional Greek sauce to go with them...so I used ranch dressing for mine but they would be good drizzled with a little Italian dressing. You could also do these sandwiches with chicken if you're of the mind! These were different and fun and yummy!

1 2-pound chuck roast

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, oregano, lemon juice and salt & pepper.

I used ranch dressing for a sauce but next time I'll make some tzatziki sauce.
