Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh mint
- 1 large, beaten Egg
- 50 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon, dried Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork.
Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, and chopped fresh mint to the meat mixture.
Stir in the beaten egg, breadcrumbs, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper, making sure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Using your hands or a spoon, mix the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a uniform mixture. Do not over-mix, as this can make the patties tough.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty approximately 1 to 1.5 centimeters thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the pan, ensuring they do not overcrowd. You may need to cook them in batches.
Cook the patties for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until they are fully cooked through and have a nice golden brown crust.
Once cooked, remove the patties from the pan and allow them to rest for a few minutes on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
Serve the bifteki warm, accompanied by pita bread, a Greek salad, or your preferred side.
