Ingredients

• 500 g Ground beef
• 250 g Ground pork
• 1 medium Red onion, finely chopped
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tbsp Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp Fresh mint, finely chopped
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 0.5 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 large Egg
• 50 g Breadcrumbs
• 100 g Feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 tbsp Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, parsley, mint, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper into the meat mixture. Mix well using your hands or a spoon to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 3

Crack the egg into the bowl and add the breadcrumbs. Mix until the mixture holds together but is not overly sticky. Avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.

Step 4

Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions. Take one portion and flatten it into a disk. Place about 1-2 teaspoons of crumbled feta cheese in the center. Cover with another portion of the meat mixture, sealing the edges tightly to form a stuffed patty. Repeat with the remaining portions.

Step 5

Lightly brush each patty with olive oil on both sides to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Preheat a grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until they are browned and cooked through to an internal temperature of at least 160°F (70°C).

Step 7

Remove the patties from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve the Bifteki Hamburger Patties with warm pita bread, tzatziki sauce, and a side of fresh salad for a complete Greek-inspired meal.
