Description
This Greek-inspired sheet pan biftekia features juicy beef patties baked alongside crispy lemony potato wedges for a flavorful and easy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (from about 1/2 lemon)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
- 1/2 cup grated onion (from about 1/2 medium onion)
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Optional: Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until evenly coated. Spread the potatoes on the prepared sheet pan in a single layer. Roast for 20 minutes.
- While the potatoes roast, grate the onion into a large bowl. Add the ground beef, egg, parsley, breadcrumbs, cumin, cinnamon, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.
- Form the meat mixture into 4 to 6 oval-shaped patties (about 3/4-inch thick).
- After 20 minutes, remove the potatoes from the oven. Push them to one side of the pan and place the patties on the other side. Drizzle the patties with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 25 to 30 minutes, until the potatoes are golden and the patties are cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F).
- Serve hot with optional lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
Notes
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for the best texture and flavor.
- Don’t overmix the meat mixture to keep the patties tender.
- Use a thermometer to ensure the patties are fully cooked.
- Add a Greek salad on the side for a complete meal.
