This Cyprus Gyro Burger combines the flavors of the Mediterranean with the American classic hamburger. The spiced beef patty is infused with flavors like cumin, coriander, and Urfa biber, while the yogurt-cucumber sauce brings a touch of freshness to the burger. Topped with thinly sliced red onions and a sprinkle of sumac, this burger is both delicious and visually appealing. Serve it up with a side of sweet potato fries or a Greek salad for a complete meal.

Instructions

1.Place the shredded cucumber into cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
2.In a bowl, mix the squeezed cucumber with 1/2 cup yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and dill. Set aside.

4.In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, minced sweet onion, red pepper flakes, cumin, coriander, Urfa biber, butter, and salt. Mix until the spices are thoroughly blended into the meat.
5.Form the meat mixture into four equal-sized patties.
6.Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to high heat.
7.Brush the patties on both sides with olive oil.
8.Grill the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
9.While the burgers are grilling, toast the buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes.
