Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g extra lean ground beef
- 1 red onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 50 g whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 egg white
- 15 g fresh parsley
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp fresh lemon zest
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 100 g low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 as needed olive oil spray
- 1 lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Finely chop the onion and garlic, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg white, finely chopped parsley, oregano, cumin, and lemon zest.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper and mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a flat oval patty about 1 cm thick.
Lightly spray the patties with olive oil spray to prevent sticking and place them on the preheated grill.
Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked or gently browned with grill marks.
Once cooked, remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the bifteki immediately with a dollop of low-fat Greek yogurt on the side and lemon wedges for squeezing over.
