High-Protein Mediterranean Beef Wraps

By Marie Hill

These High-Protein Mediterranean Beef Wraps are built around structure, balance, and ingredient quality. The beef is prepared on a sheet pan in one simple bake, while the yogurt sauce comes together at the same time. The vegetables stay fresh and crisp.

No extra sautéing. No complicated steps. Just warm, spiced beef, a thick yogurt sauce, and clean, bright garnishes layered into a wrap or bowl that feels satisfying without being heavy.

This is a high-protein beef wrap made with nutrient-dense whole foods, like:

Grass-Fed, Grass-Finished Beef

A complete protein source rich in iron, zinc, vitamin B12, and naturally occurring creatine to support muscle health, oxygen transport, and energy production. Grass-fed options offer a more favorable fatty acid profile.

Organic Greek Yogurt

Provides concentrated protein, calcium, and probiotics to support gut and bone health. It increases total protein while keeping the sauce fresh and balanced.

Fresh Cucumbers & Shallots

Offer hydration, antioxidants, and light fiber while adding texture and contrast.

Fresh Dill & Lemon

Contain polyphenols and vitamin C, supporting digestion and enhancing nutrient absorption.

Organic Olive Oil

Supplies monounsaturated fats and polyphenols that support cardiovascular health and improve absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.

Mineral-Rich Sea Salt

Contains trace minerals and enhances flavor naturally without additives.

Ingredients

Sheet-Pan Mediterranean Spiced Beef

• 1 lb grass-fed, grass-finished ground beef (80/20 for moisture or leaner if preferred)

• 1½ tsp ground cumin

• 1 tsp ground coriander

• ½ tsp allspice

• ½ tsp paprika

• ¼ tsp cinnamon

• ¾ tsp mineral-rich sea salt (Celtic or similar)

• ½ tsp black pepper

• Optional: pinch Aleppo pepper

• Organic olive oil spray

• Parchment paper

Tzatziki (High-Protein Yogurt Sauce)

• 1 cup organic plain Greek yogurt

• ½ cup grated cucumber

• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

• ½ tsp lemon zest

• 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped

• ¼ tsp mineral-rich sea salt

• 1 small clove garlic, finely grated

Fresh Garnishes

• 1 large cucumber, sliced into half rounds

• 1 small shallot, finely chopped

• Fresh dill sprigs or chopped dill

• Lemon wedges

Instructions

1. Cook the Mediterranean Spiced Beef

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.

2. Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment and lightly spray with olive oil.

3. In a bowl, gently mix ground beef with all spices until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

4. Press the beef into an even rectangle on the sheet pan, about ½-inch thick.

5. Lightly score lengthwise lines to divide into four long sections without cutting through.

6. Lightly spray the top with olive oil.

7. Bake 14–16 minutes, until cooked through and lightly browned.

8. Optional: Broil 1–2 minutes for added color.

9. Rest 3–5 minutes before lifting into strips.

The goal is light caramelization on top with tenderness inside.

2. Make the Tzatziki

1. Grate the cucumber and sprinkle with ½ tsp sea salt.

2. Let sit 10–15 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

3. While resting, combine yogurt, lemon juice, zest, dill, and garlic in a bowl.

4. Squeeze the cucumber thoroughly to remove liquid.

5. Fold the drained cucumber into the yogurt mixture.

6. Adjust salt or lemon as needed. Refrigerate until ready.

This keeps the yogurt sauce thick, creamy, and structured.

Assembly

• Spread tzatziki onto your tortilla or pita.

• Layer one strip of beef on top.

• Add fresh cucumber slices, chopped shallot, and dill.

• Finish with a squeeze of lemon.

These wraps also layer beautifully over greens or grains if you prefer a bowl.
