Unleash the inner culinary seducer with these tantalizingly seasoned beef patties, provocatively stuffed with feta cheese. Perfect for sizzling up your grill and spicing up the usual meaty rendezvous, these biftekis offer a salacious twist on the traditional, promising an irresistible melt in every bite.
Heat things up: Preheat your outdoor grill for medium, indirect heat, giving it a light touch with oil over the grate.
Caress the beef: In a bowl, combine the ground beef with yogurt, like a gentle massage, then sprinkle the thyme, salt, and pepper, stirring until just mixed.
Form the allure: Craft the mixture into eight equal patties, each a promise of delight, about 2 to 3 inches in their seductive width.
Create temptation: Encase a slice of feta between two patties with a tender yet firm seal around their edges, repeating until you have four enticing packages ready for the heat.
Grill to climax: Position your stuffed patties over the coals, not too hot, not too cold, but just right. Cover and cook, letting the anticipation build until the beef is no longer shy in the center and the feta has surrendered to a melt, 15-20 sultry minutes. Checking for doneness at 160 degrees F, ensures everything is perfect.
