Ingredients

1 lb ground beef, 85% lean
1 tsp dried sage
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried rosemary, crushed
1/2 tsp fennel seeds, lightly crushed
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes, optional
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp pure maple syrup, optional
1 tbsp olive oil, for cooking

Instructions

1

In a large bowl, combine the 1 lb 85% lean ground beef with all the herbs and spices: 1 tsp dried sage, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp crushed dried rosemary, 1/2 tsp lightly crushed fennel seeds, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper, 1/8 tsp optional red pepper flakes (if using), and 1/2 tsp salt.
2

If using, add the 1 tsp optional pure maple syrup for a touch of sweetness that balances the savory flavors.
3

Using clean hands, gently mix until all the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the meat. Be careful not to overmix, which can make the patties tough.
4

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions (about 2 oz each for the standard recipe). Form each portion into a patty about 2.5 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
5

If you have time, cover the patties and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld (this step is optional but recommended).
6

Heat the 1 tbsp for cooking olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
7

Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and are no longer pink in the center.
8

Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
9

Serve hot as part of a complete breakfast with eggs, fruit, or your favorite breakfast sides.
10

To freeze for later: Cool completely, place in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze solid, then transfer to a freezer bag for storage up to 3 months.

Questions

What should Beef Breakfast Sausage Patties look like when it is ready?

Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 7: cook until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and are no longer pink in the center. A reading of 160 F on a thermometer settles it.

What can I use instead of maple syrup in Beef Breakfast Sausage Patties?

The entry for Beef Breakfast Sausage Patties calls for 1 tsp pure maple syrup, optional. In its place: Honey, measure for measure, or brown sugar dissolved in a little warm water.

Can I make Beef Breakfast Sausage Patties less spicy?

Yes. The heat in Beef Breakfast Sausage Patties comes from 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes, optional. For a milder plate, halve the red pepper flakes; nothing else in the method changes.

Is Beef Breakfast Sausage Patties low-carb?

A serving of Beef Breakfast Sausage Patties carries 2 g of carbohydrate. Against a strict 20 g keto day that is 10 percent of the budget; against a moderate 100 g low-carb day it is 2 percent.

Which part of Beef Breakfast Sausage Patties can be done ahead?

Everything up to step 5. Step 5 is a built-in pause of 30 minutes: "If you have time, cover the patties and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld (this step is optional but recommended)." Do everything up to that point ahead of time and pick up at step 6 when you are ready to finish.
