These Greek patties, Biftekia, are packed with the Mediterranean flavours, juicy and super delicious. They are great for picnics and garden grill parties.
Biftekia, also known as “Greek hamburger”, are very popular in Greece. The smaller meatball version is called keftedes. Traditionally, the ground meat (beef, pork or lamb are all fine) is marinated with herbs (thyme, oregano, dill, parsley or rosemary) and allow the mixture to marry in the fridge, the longer the better. Overnight would be ideal. If you want to keep it low-carb, substitute almond meal for breadcrumbs.

- In a bowl, combine all the ingredients. Knead the mixture together with your hands (wearing plastic gloves if desired) for 5 minutes. Cover and chill for at least 60 minutes, allowing the flavour to combine and develop.
- Divide the mixture into 12-14 portions and shape into patties. You can form them larger or smaller, but adjust their cooking time accordingly. Cook the biftekia in a lightly oiled grill or cast iron pan over medium to high heat or bake for 22-25 minutes at 190C/350F. Serve them with seasonal salad, tzatziki and flatbread.

ReplyDeleteI love the spices that go into Greek cooking. They look great and I'm sure they were amazing.
ReplyDeleteSo great to enjoy during the heat !!!
ReplyDeleteI have never thought of marinating a ground meat mixture but definitely going to use this idea. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteI bought their Tzatziki seasoning last time it was Greek week in Lidl, and I shall put it in my potato salad tomorrow for lumch!

ReplyDeleteYum! I wish I could reach through my screen and grab a few! :)

ReplyDeleteA lot of Mediterranean countries have a similar ground meat and herb/spice mixture. I love 'em all! This is great -- lovely summer dish. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThey look nice and delicious.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a winner. Thank you for sharing. I'm thinking that I will be able to use vegan substitutes for the beef and Greek yogurt and get good results.

ReplyDeleteGracias por la receta te mando un beso
ReplyDeleteI have to say that hubbie is not a huge meatball fan, so not a dish I would typically make. This sounds like my kind of thing though, definitely made with minced beef for me, so I shall keep the recipe to hand for the future!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing :)
Ooh, I'm going to try this recipe as burgers! I'm so tired of our usual summer recipes---this is the perfect way to shake things up!
ReplyDeleteMMMM....Sounds delicious. Have you tried grilling these?
ReplyDeleteNo difieren mucho de las que yo preparo, pero me gusta más tu presentación, las hace más apetecibles, para las cenas de verano al aire libre, tipo bufé, son ideales. Se ven deliciosas.
ReplyDeleteUn beso.
che meraviglia devono essere buonissime😋😋😋😋😋
ReplyDeleteThey sound delicious! What a great idea for summer dining!
ReplyDeleteJenna
These meatballs sound delicious! What a great mix of flavors!
ReplyDeleteAngie, I make them by adding bread soaked in milk and flavored, so they are very moist and tasty. On the other hand, I don't knead them much to make them light.

This is a great recipe!!....I live the idea of these patties for a Summer dish!....or as an appetizer!!........Abrazotes, Marcela
ReplyDeleteI've never tried Biftekia, but these patties look and sound wonderful! I love the combination of herbs, especially the addition of mint - delicious!
ReplyDeleteOhh interesting dish, I learned something new today
ReplyDeletelooks so delicious, makes me hungry...yummy!!
ReplyDeleteThese look wonderful, Angie!
ReplyDeleteyum these sound great angie. i love those flavours! I usually add an egg to mine but i can see that yoghurt would do a similar thing to the consistency and texture.
ReplyDeletecheers

What delightful flavors in those meat patties!! They would make a wonderful appetizer!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adore the Mediterranean flavors in this patties. Patties or meatballs - love them all. I wonder if they enjoy the patties like a hamburger , sandwiched in burger buns or as patties like a dish with salad or something.
ReplyDeleteHome-made meatballs are simply the best. I love your gourmet way of presenting and plating them.
ReplyDeleteLove the recipe, ours always end up with egg for quick stick lol :)
