Turkish Kebabs - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Marinade:
    2 large onions, chopped
    2 garlic cloves, crushed
    1/2 cup olive oil
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
    1 pinch curry powder
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 pound beef flank steak, thinly sliced
    Tzatziki Sauce:
    8 ounces sour cream
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
    1 clove garlic, crushed
    6 pita bread rounds
Preparation
    Place the chopped onions in a large ceramic bowl and crush with the bottom of a glass until juice is rendered and onions look translucent. Stir in 2 crushed garlic cloves, 1/2 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, oregano, 1 teaspoon black pepper, turmeric, curry powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix well; add the sliced beef and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
    Combine the sour cream, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, dill, and 1 crushed clove of garlic. Mix well; cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
    Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
    Remove the meat from the marinade mixture, brushing off extra onions. Spread the slices on a baking sheet without overlapping, and salt to taste. Broil about 3 minutes per side or until browned and crispy, turning halfway through cooking.
    Divide the cooked meat between the pita breads, and drizzle with tzatziki sauce to serve.
