Laiik Makes Greek Food: Bifteki Gemista

Bifteki, pronounced beef-tek-ki, is a Greek-style burger, bun-less and perfect for the summer. It's spiced and sometimes includes Feta - which, of course, we did do for our kalo mina recipe. You can grill them on the barbecue or broil them in the oven, which is the more traditional option.
