Greek Beef Stiftakiswith Homemade French Fries and Green Bean Salad

Preheat the oven to 400°F (400°F).

Cut the potatoes into fry‑shaped sticks.

Soak the cut potato sticks in a bowl of ice water.

Drain the soaked potato sticks over a bowl.

Shape the ground beef into small patties, seasoning each with salt and pepper.

Grill the beef patties on a grill grate until browned on both sides, then transfer to the oven to finish cooking for about 10 minutes.

Toss the drained potato sticks with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet.

Bake the fries in the oven at 400°F (400°F) for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cooked french fries.

Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2–3 minutes, then shock them in ice water to preserve color.

Whisk together diced jalapeno, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the vinaigrette.

Toss the blanched green beans with the vinaigrette until evenly coated.

Grate the white ingredient into a bowl (e.g., cheese for topping).

Plate the beef patties, serve with a side of homemade fries, a handful of sliced fresh tomatoes, a dollop of tzatziki, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Enjoy the vibrant flavors of this Greek‑inspired feast.
