Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, crumbled feta cheese, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Press a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.

  3. 3

    Cook Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Tzatziki Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare Cucumber

    Grate the cucumber using a box grater or food processor. Place it in a clean towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

  2. 5

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, mix the grated cucumber, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped dill, and salt. Stir until well combined. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Burger Assembly

  1. 6

    Toast Buns

    Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Assemble Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a cooked beef patty, sliced tomato, and sliced red onion. Add a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce on top, then cover with the top half of the bun.

  3. 8

    Serve with Fries

    Serve the Greek burgers with a side of crispy fries. Enjoy your delicious Greek-style meal!
