Ingredients
  

Patty Mixture
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Plate

Method
 

  1. Add ground beef to a mixing bowl and gently combine with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
  2. Divide mixture evenly and shape into patties without pressing too firmly to keep them tender.
  3. Heat skillet over medium-high heat and cook patties until a golden crust forms.
  4. Flip and continue cooking until desired doneness while maintaining juiciness inside.
  5. Let patties rest briefly before serving to lock in moisture and flavor.

Notes

Avoid overmixing to keep patties soft and juicy. Cook longer for crispy edges or less for softer texture. Patties can be frozen before cooking. Handle gently during shaping. Customize seasoning as preferred. Store cooked patties in refrigerator up to three days.
