Ingredients:
- 2 pounds ground beef round
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 2 tomatoes, diced

- 1 teaspoon cumin

- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients and ensuring they are readily accessible. Chop the onion finely and dice the tomatoes.
-
Mix Well:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef round, chopped onion, diced tomatoes, canned tomato, cumin, oregano, eggs, beef broth, salt, and pepper.
-
Form Patties:
- Use your hands to thoroughly mix all the ingredients until well combined. Then, divide the mixture into six equal portions.
-
Shape the Patties:
- Take each portion of the mixture and form it into a round patty, ensuring they are evenly sized and shaped for even cooking.
-
Coat with Flour:
- Roll each patty in flour until evenly coated. This will create a crispy exterior when frying and help bind the ingredients together.
-
Fry the Patties:
- In a skillet or frying pan, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
-
Cook Until Golden Brown:
- Fry the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a spatula to flip them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the patties are cooked to perfection, remove them from the pan and drain any excess oil on paper towels. Serve the Greek Hamburgers hot and enjoy their delicious flavors!
