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

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine lean ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. If using, mix in Worcestershire sauce and egg yolk for extra flavor and tenderness.
  3. Gently mix the ingredients with your hands or a spoon, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 2: Shape the Patties

  1. Divide the mixture into four equal portions, about 4–5 ounces each.
  2. Shape each portion into a ½-inch thick patty, pressing slightly in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.

Step 3: Cook the Patties

  1. Grill or pan-sear: Heat a pan or grill over medium-high heat and lightly coat with oil.
  2. 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

  1. Let the patties rest for 2–3 minutes before serving to retain juiciness.
  2. 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.
