INGREDIENTS

8 oz ground beef (93% lean)

0.5 cup cooked basmati rice

0.5 tsp olive oil

2 tbsp fresh parsley

1 tsp dried oregano

1 clove garlic

1 tbsp yellow onion

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, finely diced yellow onion, chopped fresh parsley, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 2

  Gently mix the ingredients by hand until just combined, ensuring the herbs are evenly distributed without overworking the meat.

• 3

  Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape them into round patties approximately 1/2-inch thick.

• 4

  Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 5

  Place the patties in the hot skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, or until a deep golden-brown crust forms and the meat reaches your preferred level of doneness.

• 6

  While the beef rests for 2 minutes, fluff the pre-cooked basmati rice with a fork and warm it through in a separate pan or microwave.

• 7

  Plate the herb-crusted patties directly over the warm basmati rice and serve immediately.
