- Shape into patties
- Season with your favorite spices
- Grill or pan-fry
- Serve on a bun
To prepare, gently shape the ground beef into uniform patties, being careful not to overwork the meat, which can make it tough.

Cook the patties for several minutes per side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. Allow them to rest briefly before serving.
