• Place beef in a bowl. Pour marinade over meat, cover bowl, and refrigerate 6-8 hours. Remove meat from marinade, discard leftover marinade.
• Place meat on a rack in a roasting pan. Preheat oven to 350°F. Roast for 40-50 minutes or until done.

Crockpot Greek Chicken Instructions

• Brush lemon dressing over entire chicken. Sprinkle salt and pepper over chicken.
• Cover; cook on low for 6 hours or until internal chicken temperature reaches 165°F.
• Remove chicken from slow cooker onto serving platter; allow to sit for 5 minutes before slicing.

Air Fryer Greek Chicken Instructions

• Prepare the chicken as directed.
• [Depending the style of your air fryer basket, you may need to brush the chicken with the dressing before putting it in the basket, but if possible put the chicken in the basket and then brush it with the dressing (it's less messy that way).]
• Brush lemon dressing over entire chicken. Sprinkle salt and pepper over chicken.
• Spray the fry basket with cooking spray and place chicken into the basket with the legs facing down.
• Air fry chicken at 330 degrees for 30 minutes.
• Flip chicken. Continue cooking for 20 more minutes (or more as needed based on the size of your chicken) at 330 degrees Fahrenheit or until internal temperature of chicken is 165 degrees.

• Spread 1 Tbsp. of mayonnaise on each hoagie roll and top with equal amounts of roast beef, pepper, and onion.

• Toast sandwiches open-faced until cheese melts and roll browns slightly and serve warm with pickled peppers if desired.

• In a large bowl, combine the first 3 ingredients and set aside.

• Spread mustard over bottom of pie crust and pour egg mixture on top.
• Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes or until set (you can check by inserting a knife into the center—if it comes out clean, the quiche is done). Cover crust edges with foil after 25 minutes if they are starting to brown.

• Either alternate lengthwise or stack slices of mozzarella cheese, tomato, and fresh basil.
