Ingredients

1.33 pounds ground beef
1 tablespoon plain yogurt
2 teaspoons dried thyme
salt and pepper to taste
4 slices feta cheese

Instructions

Prepare your grill for medium, indirect heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, yogurt, thyme, salt, and pepper. Divide the mixture and shape into eight equal-sized patties, approximately 2 to 3 inches in diameter.
Create a 'sandwich' by placing a slice of feta cheese between two patties and sealing the edges tightly. Repeat this process with the remaining patties and cheese slices.
Place the stuffed bifteki patties on the preheated grill, over the area with indirect heat. Cover the grill and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the patties are fully cooked and the cheese is melted and gooey. The internal temperature should reach at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
