Bifteki...Greek Style Hamburgers

2 1/2 lbs. ground sirloin beef
1 lg. onion, chopped
2 eggs
Juice from 2 lemons
Salt
Ground Pepper
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup bread crumbs
A little olive oil
Mint
Thyme

Combine all ingredients and mix well with hands. Shape into oval patties, like hamburgers. About 16. Broil them in oven until desired doneness.

Note: This is a very simple recipe. Some people use cooked rice instead of breadcrumbs. You can also omit the lemon and mint from patties and flavor-cooked patties in creamy tomato gravy. Cook meat drippings, 6 tablespoons tomato paste, 1-cup beef broth, and ½-cup red wine in large skillet over low heat until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in 1/2-cup sour cream. Add patties and simmer 10 minutes.
