Method

1. Grate half the red onion and chop the parsley. In a bowl mix the lean beef mince with the grated onion, parsley, half the dried oregano, salt and black pepper until firm.
2. Divide it in two, flatten each piece in your palm, put a piece of feta in the centre and fold the meat over it, sealing the edges well so the cheese doesn't escape. Press lightly into burger shapes.
3. Heat a griddle over medium-high heat and cook the bifteki for 4–5 minutes per side, until well browned outside and firm to the touch.
4. Meanwhile cut the tomatoes into wedges, the cucumber into half-moons, the green peppers into rings and the remaining onion into thin slices; add the black olives, remaining oregano, extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt.
5. Warm the wholemeal bread on the griddle and serve with the bifteki and salad.
