Bifteki spice: buy & enjoy

Greek minced dish - Bifteki

Along with kebabs, keftedes & co., bifteki is one of the most famous Greek minced dishes. They all actually only differ in the way they are prepared and the visual shape. Bifteki looks like a German meatball: round and slightly flattened, pan-fried or grilled. Your mental vacation in beautiful Greece is just a bite away! Even the divine Zeus is said to have raved about this delicacy - that has to say something, don't you think?

Even though the Greeks eat their bifteki plain, in this country it is mostly eaten with feta cheese served stuffed. The mild feta tastes great with the seasoned mince and, for many people, really rounds off the dish. The meatballs are usually made from veal, beef or lamb - or mixed together. There are even vegetarian versions with, for example, pureed vegetables and eggs as a base.

The History of Minced Meat

As with so many things, countless stories and theories have arisen about the invention of minced meat. One of them says that a Mongol horseman was the first to experiment with minced meat around the thirteenth century. When the meat was transported under the saddle, warm and tightly pressed, the minced meatballs were created. As the Mongols love to travel, they spread the good news across national borders and ultimately to Europe and to us in Germany. Surprisingly, the term “bifteki” is derived from the American word “beefsteak”.
