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.
