Preparation Steps
1
In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and a tablespoon of olive oil. Form the mixture into 4 equally sized patties.
2
In a hot skillet or on a grill, cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip.
3
After flipping, crumble feta cheese over the patties. Cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt slightly.
4
Halve the hamburger buns and butter them lightly. Toast them in a skillet until golden brown.
5
To make the tzatziki, grate the cucumber, squeeze out the excess liquid, and combine it with the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
6
Spread tzatziki on the bottom half of each bun, then top with a lettuce leaf.
7
Place the feta-topped patty on the lettuce, then add tomato slices and thinly sliced red onion.
8
Drizzle a little olive oil on the top half of the bun, then place it on the burger.
9
Serve immediately, accompanied by french fries or a Greek salad.
