Make the marinade by mixing olive oil, oregano, onion powder, black pepper, minced garlic, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and Himalayan salt in a bowl.

Add beef to the marinade and mix well.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours.

Prepare the tzatziki sauce by peeling the cucumber and removing the ends.

Split the cucumber and scoop out the seeds to prevent a watery sauce.

Grate the cucumber and place it in a bowl with a pinch of salt, letting it sit for about 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, squeeze out the excess water from the grated cucumber.

In a new bowl, combine Greek yogurt, the grated cucumber, a pinch of salt, dill, black pepper, minced garlic, and freshly squeezed lemon juice, then mix well.

Refrigerate the tzatziki sauce for later use.

Make a salad by mixing olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, mixed salad greens, red onion, tomato, dill, salt, and oregano in a bowl.

Mix the salad ingredients well and set aside.

Prepare the skewers with the marinated beef, ensuring they are evenly spaced.

Baste the skewers with leftover marinade before grilling.

Grill the skewers outside until cooked through, then plate with bread, salad, tzatziki, and garnish with chives.
