Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef 80/20 lean-to-fat ratio (or 93/7 for a leaner version)
- 1 tsp kosher salt Morton or Diamond Crystal
- 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder freshly ground for brighter flavor
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce Lea & Perrins or gluten-free Tamari
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard optional tang
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped for brightness
- 1 tbsp neutral oil canola or vegetable for the skillet
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and parsley gently to avoid overworking.
- Divide into 4 portions, form into balls and flatten to ¾-inch thickness, creating a small dimple in the center.
- For patties to hold shape, chill in the fridge for 10 minutes if desired.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, and when smoking, it's ready.
- Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness or until internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Rest patties for 5 minutes before serving to redistribute juices and avoid dryness.
Notes
Let beef sit at room temperature for 10 minutes and pat dry with a paper towel to achieve a nice crust. Patties can be shaped ahead and refrigerated or frozen for meal prep.
