Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.25 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, egg, parsley, oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Using your hands, gently mix all the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the patties dense.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing up during cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving them, allowing a golden crust to form.
Flip the patties and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Serve the Italian beef patties on their own with a side of roasted vegetables, over a bed of pasta, or sandwiched in a crusty Italian roll.
