Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Prepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill for medium, indirect heat and lightly oil the grate. (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, gently mix the ground beef, Greek yogurt, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

Form the Patties: Divide the beef mixture into eight equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, about 2 to 3 inches in diameter. (10 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

Stuff with Feta: Place one slice of feta cheese between two patties. Carefully seal the edges to ensure the cheese doesn't escape during cooking. Repeat with the remaining patties and cheese. (10 minutes)

05

Step
20 mins

Grill the Bifteki: Arrange the stuffed patties on the preheated grill over indirect heat. Cover and cook until the patties are cooked through and the cheese is melted and oozing, about 15 to 20 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a patty to ensure it reaches at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). (20 minutes)

06

Step

Serve Immediately: Remove the Bifteki from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite Greek sides, such as a refreshing horiatiki salad or grilled pita bread.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a finely minced clove of garlic or a tablespoon of chopped fresh oregano to the beef mixture.
If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can cook the Bifteki in a skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added brightness.
