Bifteki

by Melissa

  • 2 1/2 lbs. ground sirloin beef
  • 1 lg. onion, chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • Juice from 2 lemons
  • Salt
  • Ground Pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • A little olive oil
  • Mint
  • Thyme
Combine all ingredients and mix well with hands. Shape into oval patties, like hamburgers. About 16. Broil them in oven until desired doneness.

Note: This is a very simple recipe. Some people use cooked rice instead of bread crumbs. You can also omit the lemon and mint from patties and flavor cooked patties in a creamy tomato gravy. Cook meat dripppings, 6 tablespoons tomato paste, 1 cup beef broth, and 1/2 cup red wine in large skillet over low heat until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in 1/2 cup sour cream. Add patties and simmer 10 minutes.
