Instructions

Step 1

1. Combine the beef with half of the salt, pepper, and crushed garlic. Add the scallions and capers and mix well.

Step 2

2. Carefully fold in the crumbled feta, and shape the beef mixture into 8 even-sized patties; set aside.

Step 3

3. To make the tzatziki, grate the cucumber into a colander and combine with the remaining salt. Allow cucumber to drain in the colander for about 10 minutes. With a kitchen towel, squeeze excess moisture from the cucumbers and place in a bowl. Add the yogurt and remaining pepper and garlic to the cucumbers, and stir to combine.

Step 4

4. Broil the beef patties on high for about 5 minutes to an internal temperature of about 165°F, flipping once to achieve even cooking and browning.
