Step 1
Soak the 1 cup bulgur in 1 cup hot water for 10 minutes until tender; drain any excess water.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix the soaked bulgur with the 1 pound ground beef and 1 teaspoon salt; knead until well combined.
Step 3
Shape the mixture into 2-inch oval patties, about 1 inch thick.
Step 4
Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the patties until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
Step 5
While patties cook, chop the 2 tomatoes, 1 green pepper, and 1 cucumber into small dice; place in a serving bowl.
Step 6
Slice the 1 lemon into wedges and chop the 0.5 cup parsley; set aside for garnish.
