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

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, and chopped fresh mint to the meat mixture.

Step 3

Stir in the beaten egg, breadcrumbs, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper, making sure all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty approximately 1 to 1.5 centimeters thick.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the pan, ensuring they do not overcrowd. You may need to cook them in batches.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Serve the bifteki warm, accompanied by pita bread, a Greek salad, or your preferred side.
