Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef (85% lean)
- 100 grams feta cheese
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Finely chop the red onion and garlic cloves. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well using your hands until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Chop the fresh parsley and mint, and stir them into the beef mixture.
Crumble the feta cheese into small pieces and add it to the mixture. Stir again to ensure even distribution.
Add the egg to the beef mixture to help bind it together, mixing well.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions, shaping each into a patty. Use your thumb to create a small indentation in the center for more even cooking.
Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a non-stick skillet or grill pan.
Once the oil is hot, add the bifteki patties and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. Ensure each side is well browned and the center reaches a safe internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the bifteki hot, accompanied by a fresh salad or low-carb side dish of your choice.
