Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated carrot.
Add the breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, and fresh parsley to the mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste if needed.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a flat round patty, about 1.5 cm thick.
Heat the oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Cook the patties in batches, frying for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add more oil if necessary between batches.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with your choice of accompaniments, such as burger buns, mashed potatoes, or a fresh side salad.
