Ingredients

• Ground beef or lamb - 250 grams
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cucumber - 1/2 medium, grated

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef or lamb, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
2. Form the meat mixture into 2 equal-sized patties.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the tzatziki sauce by combining the grated cucumber, Greek yogurt, chopped dill, and lemon juice in a bowl. Mix well and season with a pinch of salt if desired.
