Pork Gyros - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
    1/4 cup dry red wine
    3 garlic cloves, minced
    1 small bay leaf, crumbled
    1/2 tablespoon packed fresh oregano leaves
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    2 (1 lb) pork tenderloin
    6 pita breads, 7 inches in diameter
    1 red onion, halved, thinly sliced
    24 large arugula leaves
Preparation
    Combine the first seven ingredients in large resealable plastic bag; shake to blend. Add pork to marinade; seal bag. Chill overnight, turning bag occasionally.
    Make tomato-yogurt sauce per Ice Cool Kitty's directions in Recipe #386313 368313.
    Prepare BBQ (medium heat). Remove pork from bag. Grill until thermometer inserted into center of each tenderloin registers 145 degrees F, about 18 minutes. Transfer to work surface; let stand 10 minutes (temperature will rise five to ten degrees). Thinly slice into rounds.
    Grill pitas until warmed through and softened, about 2 minutes per side. Cut pitas in half. Fill pita halves with pork, drizzle with yogurt sauce, then tuck in onion and arugula. Serve, passing remaining sauce separately.
