Over the summer, I raved about a batch of keftedes, the Greek meatballs, I had put together. I didn't think they could get much better, but alas, I was wrong. When you stuff that tasty Greek meat mixture with some feta cheese and grill it, the awesomeness meter totally cranks up, plus they get a new name—bifteki.

Like the keftedes, a combination of oregano, mint, and onion create the traditional Greek flavor of the meat. Luckily, this particular recipe created a much firmer mixture, more in line with a traditional burger, that was perfect for forming into patties to hold the cheese, which later held up great on the grill.

The feta softened just enough over the heat to make smooth, creamy innards that added new flavor and texture, heightening an already fantastic beef. So if you haven't tried this out yet, skip the keftedes and go straight to the bifteki, I promise that you won't be disappointed.
