Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your bifteki.
  • Don't overmix the meat. Overmixing can make the bifteki tough.
  • Cook the bifteki over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the bifteki will not cook evenly.
  • Let the bifteki rest before serving. This will help to keep the juices in the meat.
  • Serve the bifteki with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include tzatziki sauce, feta cheese, and tomatoes.
