Preparation – 10 minutes

Peel the onion and garlic cloves and finely grate them. Finely chop the parsley and mix the onion, garlic and parsley together with oregano, mint, paprika, mince and a handful of breadcrumbs.

Mix well, and season with salt and pepper. If the mince doesn’t quite hold together, you can add a few more breadcrumbs. Do not add too many, because then the bifteki will become dry.
