Ingredients
Method
- Grate the onions and leave them in a fine sieve to drain off most of their liquid.
- Remove the crust from the bread and keep 1 handful of the crumb.
- Grind a few rusks in a food processor and keep 1 handful of the crumbs too.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with the bread, grated onion, ground rusks, egg, a very little oregano, salt and pepper.
- Knead well, divide into 6–8 equal portions and shape the biftekia.
- Bake the biftekia at 200°C, fan, for 30–40 minutes, or even better, under the oven grill on a rack for about 10 minutes on each side.
- TipIf you use the grill, put a baking tray with a little water underneath so your oven stays clean.
