Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Add ground beef to a mixing bowl and season evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Mix gently until just combined to keep the texture tender and avoid toughness.
- Form into patties or loose portions, keeping thickness even for consistent cooking.
- Heat skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
- Cook beef until browned on one side, then flip carefully to maintain shape.
- Finish cooking until juicy inside with a slightly crisp exterior, then rest briefly before serving.
Notes
For softer texture, mix lightly and cook less. For crispier edges, increase heat slightly. Freeze raw portions on a tray before storing. Handle gently when flipping. Add spices or cheese for flavor variation. Store cooked meat in the refrigerator for up to three days.
