Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Brown ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.
Step 2
Season beef with 0.25 tsp salt, 0.125 tsp pepper, and sumac. Stir to combine, then remove to a plate.
Step 3
Add remaining 2 tbsp butter to the skillet. Halve tomatoes and pepper lengthwise; sear cut-side down until charred, ~3 minutes.
Step 4
Warm pita on the skillet for 1 minute per side until soft and pliable. Transfer to plates.
Step 5
Top pita with cooked beef, then drizzle with warm yogurt until the bread is half-submerged and sauce pools around the edges.
Step 6
Arrange charred tomato and pepper on top. Serve immediately while yogurt is still warm and pita is soft.
