Greek Meatloaf (Bifteki) in Metaxa Sauce



Greek Meatloaf (Bifteki) in Metaxa Sauce:

Today I am cooking Greek Meatloaf. It's a nice change to the regular Meatloaf. I started to prepare
it for dinner at noon. So I am not in a huzzle.

For the meatloaf you will need this:

- 1 lbs ground Beef
- 1/2 to 1 red onion, chopped
- 2 Tablespoons mustard
- 1 Tablespoon Tomatopaste
- 1 Egg
- 2 Teaspoons Oregano
- 1 Teaspoon (Archer Farms) Mediterranean Seasoning (Target) or Gyros Seasoning
- Salt, Pepper
- 2 Tablespoons plain Breadcrumbs 

Mix all ingredients in a Bowl together. Separate them in 2 pieces, add Feta cheese in the middle
of the meatloafs. (Here I also used my preserved Feta cheese in Garlic Oil) 



For the Metaxa Sauce you will need:

- 1/2 - 1 red Onion
- 1 Cup Heavy Whip (250 ml)
- a little bit more then 1/2 cup Metaxa (150 ml)
- 1 Teaspoon beef stock crumbled
- 1/2 cup Water (125 ml)
- cornstarch (optional) 

Fry the Onions in a pan til their smooth. Then add all the liquids and season it with salt. 

Fry the Meatloafs for 5 min on each side in a pan. Then add the Metaxa Sauce to the Meatloafs and put scrumbled Feta cheese and scrumbled Goat cheese on top of it and put them for 15 min in the oven at 400 degrees.
This time I was serving my filled Tomatos with it, Rice (you can add Paprika and Tomatopaste to the Rice) and Lettuce. 
Guten Appetit
