Greek-style burgers, also known as Biftekia (or Bifteki when referring to one burger) are packed full of flavor and protein. Traditional Biftekia are made with ground beef or lamb (or a combination of both), aromatics, fresh or dried herbs and spices.
To make these extra juicy and add more flavor, we are using crumbled feta cheese mixed directly with the meat. You can make these as regular sized burgers, smaller burger patties or even shape them on skewers just like Lamb Koftas .
These Greek Feta Burgers are best served with simple Mediterranean summer salads such as Arugula, Tomato & Feta Salad , Tzatziki or Classic Greek Salad .

Ingredients (makes 4 servings)
600 g ground beef (1.3 lb)
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 /2 tsp sea salt
1 /2 tsp black pepper
1 /2 cup crumbled feta cheese (75 g/ 2.7 oz)
1 tbsp ghee or avocado oil (15 ml)
Instructions
In a bowl combine the ground beef, oregano, minced garlic, salt and pepper.
Add the crumbled feta and combine well.
Using your hands, create 4 equal patties, 1 /2 to 3 /4 inch (1 1 /4 to 2 cm) thick. Alternatively, make 8 smaller patties. Use your hands to smooth any cracks. Pierce the patties with a fork several times. This will loosen the patties and help them cook equally without curling or getting tough while enabling maximum caramelisation.
Grease the hot skillet or a griddle pan with a tablespoon of ghee (or avocado oil) and add the burger patties. Cook over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until a crust forms on the bottom and the burgers are easy to flip on the other side using a spatula.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes and then transfer to a plate and set aside.
These burgers are best served with fresh salad such as Arugula, Tomato & Feta Salad , Tzatziki or Classic Greek Salad .
Serve the warm patties with the salad and some lemon wedges, or let them cool down and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
