Bifteki is a great barbecue dish and a nice alternative to steaks. The feta-stuffed beef patties are really quick to prepare and can be fried in a pan if you prefer.

Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ pounds ground beef

  • 1 tablespoon plain yogurt

  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 4 slices feta cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium, indirect heat and lightly oil the grate.

  2. Mix ground beef, yogurt, thyme, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Form mixture into eight equal patties, about 2 to 3 inches in diameter.

  3. Sandwich two patties around one slice cheese and seal the edges. Repeat with remaining patties and cheese.

  4. Arrange stuffed patties on the preheated grill over indirect heat. Cover and cook until no longer pink in the center and cheese is melted, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
