bifteki

This Greek minced beef cutlets stuffed with feta cheese (Bifteki) recipe is definitely a keeper!!  It&#x27;s flavorful, juicy, easy and quick to make.

Bifteki Recipe

450 g (1 lbs) ground beef

bread

oregano

parsley

onion (medium)

garlic

cumin

cinnamon

nutmeg

salt

200 g (7.1 oz) feta cheese

olive oil

pepper (to taste)

First of all soak bread slices in the water until softened.  In the meantime, rinse fresh parsley and oregano, pat dry with paper towels and cut into small pieces. Peel and finely chop garlic and onion as well.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet and sauté the onion and garlic for about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.

Using your hands, squeeze out all the excess moisture from bread slices that you previously soaked.

In a large bowl combine ground beef, bread, salt, cinnamon, cumin, nutmeg, herbs, egg and cooled sauteed onion and garlic. Mix well with your hands. Season with pepper. Take half of the meat mixture and divide it into 4 cutlet-shaped patties. Divide feta cheese into 4 cubes and put a block on top of each patty. Using the remaining beef mixture cover the patties. Then preheat the oven to 200 °C (392 °F).

Heat the remaining oil in the same skillet that you previously used and sear the patties for 2 minutes on each side over medium high heat. Put the skillet in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes remove the skillet from the oven and serve immediately.

Bifteki is a version of a Greek burger. This is a traditional, authentic recipe of juicy and flavorful biftekia (plural) baked with crispy and savory potatoes in a lemon olive oil sauce.

Bifteki-The Greek Burger

lbs grass-fed ground beef

onions (grated)

tomatoes (grated)

breadcrumbs (total.)

egg (optional)

red wine vinegar

extra virgin olive oil

parsley leaves (roughly chopped)

oregano leaves

sea salt

pepper

potatoes

mustard

lemons (juiced)

water

Preheat the oven at 200°C/390°F

Peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges or thick slices.

Put them in a baking pan. Add the olive oil, oregano, mustard, and lemon juice, and season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Mix well to distribute all seasonings and olive oil evenly.

Pour one cup of water at the bottom of the pan, cover with aluminum foil, and bake at 200°C for 1 hour until they are soft.

Start with the potatoes

Put the ground beef in a bowl. Add the olive oil, oregano, fresh oregano, parsley, vinegar, one teaspoon of sea salt, and plenty of freshly ground pepper. You can add an egg if you like.

Grate the onions and tomatoes, directly into the meat. Let all their liquids pour into the mixture.

Start mixing, and based on how loose the mixture is, start adding the breadcrumbs. Knead well, but don&#39;t overdo it.

Cover the mixture and place into the refrigerator for half an hour.

Start making the burgers ten minutes before the potatoes reach the one hour of baking (or are close to being soft). Form 10-12 biftekia-burgers.

Remove the potatoes from the oven and lay on top of them the biftekia. Bake for another 30 minutes.

Check the burgers to make sure they are done to your liking. Remove burgers and set them aside to rest covered with aluminum foil. Increase the heat to 220°C/ 425°F and continue to roast the potatoes for 10 minutes or until they are golden brown with crispy edges and tender inside.

Serve immediately with plenty of feta on the table, lemon wedges, and fresh bread.
