Ingredients
Ground beef, 1.5 pounds (80% lean)
Panko breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup
Half an onion, sliced
1 crushed garlic clove
Dried parsley, 2 tablespoons
1 large egg
Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup
Instructions
Let ground beef rest for 10 minutes at room temperature
Combine beef, sliced onion, crushed garlic, and 2 tbsp dried parsley in a large bowl
Mix gently by hand until ingredients combine (avoid overmixing)
Portion mixture into 4 equal 12-ounce patties, pressing a 1/4-inch thumb indent into the center of each
Whisk 1 egg with 1/4 cup Greek yogurt to create a wash
Brush yogurt-egg mixture lightly over both sides of the patties
Season with salt and pepper
Preheat grill or oven to 400°F
Grill or bake patties 3-4 minutes per side until fully cooked
Notes
For a nutty flavor, substitute 1 tbsp grated Parmesan for breadcrumbs
Use garlic powder instead of salt to avoid moisture loss
Ensure herbs are evenly distributed to prevent raw spots
If serving with buns, pair with homemade “Smashed buttery potatoes” or “Microwave smoke-roasted tomatoes” for optimal flavor balance
Patties can be frozen uncooked for up to 3 months
