Prep the potatoes: While the oven is preheating, cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch wedges. Transfer them to a rimmed baking sheet, then toss them with the olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. In a measuring cup, combine the broth and lemon juice, then pour over the potatoes.

Make the biftekia: While the potatoes are roasting, set a box grater in a large bowl. Grate the onion on the large holes of the box grater (you should have about 1/2 cup), and grate the garlic on the small holes. Add the breadcrumbs, egg, chopped herbs, remaining 1 teaspoon dried oregano, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper and stir to combine. Add the ground beef and mix gently to combine, then fold in the feta, if using. Form the mixture into eight 3-inch patties.

Roast the biftekia: When the potatoes are ready, place the patties on top of the potatoes and return the baking sheet to the oven. Bake until the biftekia are cooked through, the potatoes are tender, and the liquid is nearly evaporated, about 20 minutes. Garnish with more chopped fresh herbs and serve. Leftover biftekia and potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a comment below!

About this Recipe
Craving a deeply satisfying, home-cooked meal that’s both flavorful and incredibly easy to clean up? This Greek-Inspired Sheet Pan Dinner is your answer, bringing the comforting taste of homemade biftekia with bright, tender lemony potatoes straight to your table.
Why This Recipe Works
This recipe shines by combining perfectly seasoned ground beef patties, known as biftekia, with zesty potato wedges all cooked on a single sheet pan. The secret is in the vibrant lemon and oregano seasoning for the potatoes, which complements the savory, herb-infused, and optionally cheesy beef patties. It’s a complete meal designed for maximum flavor and minimal fuss, making weeknight dinners genuinely enjoyable.
What to Expect
Prepare for a comforting experience that delights the senses. You'll enjoy tender, golden-brown potato wedges infused with bright lemon juice, aromatic oregano, and a hint of garlic. Alongside them, the biftekia patties are wonderfully savory, packed with fresh onion, garlic, herbs like parsley and mint, and a touch of panko for texture. The optional crumbled feta cheese adds a creamy, tangy burst that elevates each bite. This dish offers a balanced blend of rich and fresh flavors, leaving you feeling perfectly satisfied without being overly heavy.
Customization & Variations
Easily adapt this comforting sheet pan dinner to your pantry or preferences. The crumbled feta cheese in the biftekia is optional, so feel free to omit it if you prefer. You can also vary the fresh herbs; use only parsley, only mint, or a delightful combination of both. For an extra pop of flavor, consider adding a pinch of dried red pepper flakes to the potatoes before roasting.
This Greek-inspired sheet pan dinner is perfect for a cozy weeknight meal or a casual gathering. Serve it directly from the pan, perhaps with a simple side salad and a sprinkle of fresh parsley or mint for garnish, creating a beautifully presented and effortless spread.
