Ingredients

1 kg beef, minced (or 700 g beef and 300 g pork)
2 eggs (preferably organic)
2 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded and grated
1 large onion, grated
1/2 teaspoon oregano, dried
1/2 teaspoon thyme, dried
1 cup fresh parsley or 1 cup of fresh mint, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
salt
pepper, freshly ground

Steps:

Saute the onion in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil until it turns golden.
In a large deep bowl, mix the minced meat, the sauted onion, the eggs, tomatoes and herbs with your hands and season.
Wet your hands with cold water and knead the mix until it is light and fluffy. Then let it settle in the refrigerator for about an hour.
Rub your hands with olive oil and form the biftekia so that they are all the same size, but not too thick.
Grill or bake for 6-8 minutes on each side.
