Instructions
 

Grass-Fed Beef Patty

  • Mixing the Patty Ingredients:
    In a large bowl, combine the ground grass-fed beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the mixture, as this can make the patties tough.

  • Shaping the Patties:
    Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.

  • Cooking the Patties:
    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness (for medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F/57°C). Let the patties rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute.
