From the Test Kitchen
In this flavorful dish, warm pitas are filled with sweet sautéed onion and beef coated with fragrant vadouvan curry powder, which finds cooling contrast from a layer of creamy tzatziki. We're serving them with a crisp, refreshing side of cabbage dressed with sweet chili sauce.

instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients
If you prefer to use an oven to warm the pitas instead of a microwave, preheat the oven to 375°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut out and discard the core of the cabbage; thinly slice the leaves. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion.
2
Make the slaw
In a large bowl, combine the sliced cabbage, sliced white bottoms of the scallions, sweet chili sauce, and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
3
Cook the beef & onion
Meanwhile, separate the beef; pat dry with paper towels. Place in a bowl and season with salt, pepper, and enough of the curry powder to coat (you may have extra). Toss to thoroughly coat. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned beef and sliced onion in an even layer; season with salt and pepper. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the beef is browned and just cooked through. Turn off the heat.
4
Warm the pitas
Meanwhile, if using the microwave, wrap the pitas in a damp paper towel and microwave on high 1 minute, or until heated through and pliable. If using the oven, wrap the pitas in foil and place directly onto an oven rack. Warm 7 to 9 minutes, or until heated through and pliable. Transfer the warmed pitas to a work surface and carefully unwrap.
5
Finish the pitas & serve your dish
Spread the tzatziki onto the warmed pitas; top with the cooked beef and onion. Serve the finished pitas with the slaw on the side. Garnish with the sliced green tops of the scallions. Enjoy!
