How to Make Bifteki Hamburger Patties

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs (or rice), onion, garlic, egg, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  2. Mix thoroughly with your hands, being careful not to overwork the meat. Overworking can result in tough patties.
  3. Shape the mixture into 4 oval patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Preheat your broiler or heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. If broiling, place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Broil for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  6. If pan-frying, cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and browned.
  7. Serve your Bifteki patties on buns with your favorite toppings, or enjoy them as is! Enjoy!
