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. 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. 2

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

  3. 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. 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. 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. 6

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

  7. 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. 8

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

  9. 9

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

  10. 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.
