Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef (90/10 or 93/7)
- 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional, for added umami)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil (for cooking)
Optional Additions:
- 1 egg yolk (for extra tenderness)
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (for mild heat)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Mixture
- In a mixing bowl, combine lean ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- If using, mix in Worcestershire sauce and egg yolk for extra flavor and tenderness.
- Gently mix the ingredients with your hands or a spoon, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Step 2: Shape the Patties
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions, about 4–5 ounces each.
- Shape each portion into a ½-inch thick patty, pressing slightly in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.
Step 3: Cook the Patties
- Grill or pan-sear: Heat a pan or grill over medium-high heat and lightly coat with oil.
- Cook each patty for 3–4 minutes per side, flipping only once, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F for food safety.
Step 4: Rest and Serve
- Let the patties rest for 2–3 minutes before serving to retain juiciness.
- Serve with grilled vegetables, fresh greens, or mashed cauliflower for a balanced meal.
Notes
- For extra juiciness, avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking.
- For a smoky flavor, add ½ tsp smoked paprika to the seasoning mix.
- Storage: Store uncooked patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheating: Warm patties in a skillet over medium heat or bake at 350°F until heated through.
