GREEK MEAT PATTIES...(BIFETKI) image

Here is a delicious Greek Beef Pattie (BIFETKA)recipe you can make at home and enjoy. My Chicago Greek friend, Rose gave me this recipe in the 70s. She was a wonderful neighbor. This recipe is in her honor and for a taste of our yearly Greek Festival. Held at the HOLY TRINITY GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH. In Spokane, WA. Great...

Categories     Beef

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lb ground beef......then minced.
2 slice bread, your choice......soak in water for 10 minutes !
1 large egg........beaten
1 large lemon........sliced.for serving
1 Tbsp mint ..... dried
1 medium onion....grated and minced
Tbsp oregano....., dried
4-5 sprig(s) fresh parsley..... chopped to taste
1 pinch black pepper
1 pinch salt........to taste
2 Tbsp thyme....., dried

Steps:

  • 1. Gather your spices. Chop and mince the onion. Set aside
  • 2. Cover 2 slices of bread with water. Let set for 10 minutes With your hands squeeze all the water out that you can. Discard the crusts. Set this mass in a strainer to drip while you prepare the next step.
  • 3. In a large bowl mix with your clean wet hands combine the meat, onions, spices, parsley, salt & pepper and the bread mixture. You can use bread of your choice. I used Dill Rye bread.
  • 4. Now add the beaten egg. Again mix very well with your hands. Let this mixture set for 1/2 hour.
  • 5. You can broil the patties, or cook on the outside grill, even fry gently.. Do not let them burn or burn!!!
  • 6. Serve on a platter, with cut lemons, and a little fresh parsley. For a dinner I like yellow rice, fresh tomatoes and cooked spinach to round out the meal. Don't forget the ozo!! OPA! now enjoy!
