    I am making this tonight. I remember when I went to Greece with my mom in 1988 as a little kid, my favorite dish was Bifteki with patatoules! I ate it at least three times a week at my mom's village Asimohori. I have so many amazing memories. Efaristo para poli for this recipe! Na isay kala.

    I’m Greek and my dad would always make me and my sister this with some type of potatoes or fries, feta cheese and bread when we would stay at his house. So good 🤤

  • @Kma11111
    @Kma11111 2 роки тому +5

    Another wonderful recipe, my guests were very satisfied. I also hid a piece of feta in the middle of the meatballs. I can only speak for myself here (the ovens in professional kitchens are likely to be a bit more powerful than those of amateur cooks), but my potatoes were still very hard, so next time I will blanch them for a few minutes beforehand.

  • @mlersk8830
    @mlersk8830 2 роки тому +1

    Delicious- one of my favorite things to order in Athens. Akis knows his stuff! You have to have pork and beef!! The pork gives a sweetness and mildness to the meat! Same with moussaka. So many recipes don’t do this. Bravo!! Xx

    I love your herb rack - it's so cute! I really need some comfort food. So I think I will try this tonight. The soaked bread kindof freaks me out though. My grandma used to make me cook milk toast for her... ugh! I will just close my eyes. I'm sure it will be delicious once I move past that part. There are no Greek restaurants here - so it is home cooking or nothing. Thank God for Akis!

I will let you know if it is worked. So it will be 2 KINDS of biftekia. NA ise kala me igia ke epitihies. Apo tin Notio Afriki 😊

    This was really good. I think it would have cooked better and faster for me in a metal pan than in a ceramic one. But it was fine. I have to say I liked the test pan seared version better. So I think I would cook the potatoes in the oven and the meat in the pan next time. Either way it was yummy!
