Greek Beef Thing (MainDish)(permalink)
This has been described by Jameel as a degenerate Moussaka. I concurr.

Sauce

1 cup yoghurt
1/2 cucumber, julienned
1/2tsp mint
1/2tsp basil
1/4tsp garlic powder

Mix ingredeints and stir well. Let sit in the refrigerator for about a half hour for flavors to develop, while you make:
The Beef thing

1/2lb ground beef
2tbsp pignola (pine) nuts, coarsely chopped
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1 - 2 cloves garlic, diced
1tbsp olive oil
3oz feta cheese, cubed
Salt
Pepper
1/2tsp mint
1tsp basil

Heat oil in a medium skillet. Add onions and garlic and saute until translucent. Add the beef, mint, basil, and salt and pepper to taste, and brown the meat..
Once the meat is completely browned, add the feta cheese and pine nuts. Stir until the cheese has melted enough to coat the beef, leaving a few large chunks of cheese.

Remove yoghurt sauce from the fridge and salt to taste. Serve on the side.
This goes very well with pita bread
