Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs grass-fed ground beef (85/15 or 80/20)
- 1/2 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large egg (or 1 flax egg for egg-free)
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Optional: 1/4 cup finely diced bell pepper or mushrooms
- 1 tbsp avocado oil or ghee (for pan-frying)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, diced onion, minced garlic, egg (or flax egg), sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and any optional add-ins. Gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Divide the mixture into 4-6 equal portions. Form each portion into a patty, about 3/4 to 1 inch thick, making a slight indentation in the center of each with your thumb.
- To pan-fry: Heat avocado oil or ghee in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness and a nice sear is achieved.
- To bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place patties on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until desired internal temperature is reached.
- To grill: Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill patties for 4-7 minutes per side.
- Remove patties from heat and let them rest for 5-10 minutes, loosely tented with foil, before serving.
