Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high. Brown ground beef, breaking it into small pieces, until no pink remains, about 6 minutes.
Step 2
Warm crushed tomato in a small pan, stirring occasionally, until it starts to bubble, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Toast pita bread directly over a burner flame or in a dry skillet until warm and lightly charred, 1 minute per side.
Step 4
Slice tomato into thick rounds. Sear in the same skillet (oil or butter as needed) until soft and caramelized, 2 minutes per side.
Step 5
Place pita on a plate. Layer beef on top, then pour warm tomato sauce over it. Dollop yogurt on the side.
Step 6
Melt remaining 2 tbsp butter in a small pan, then drizzle over the yogurt and beef. Serve with grilled tomato.
