Ingredients Quantity
1 pound (450 g) ground beef
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil or butter (for frying)
Optional Additions
Sliced onions for frying or gravy
1 egg (for extra binding)
Beef broth or gravy for serving
Paprika or cayenne pepper for a little heat
Fresh parsley for garnish
Tips for Success
Do not overmix the meat; gentle mixing keeps the patties tender
Let the patties rest a few minutes before cooking so they hold together
Use medium heat to ensure a good sear without burning
Butter adds richness, while olive oil gives a lighter finish
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Mix gently until just combined.
Shape the mixture into evenly sized oval or round patties.
Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the patties and cook for 4–5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.
Remove from the skillet and let rest briefly before serving.
