Chef notes
This burger delivers all the flavor with no filler. Ditch the breads crumbs and just use really well seasoned beef seared to perfection. It's beyond good!
Technique tip: Make the patties a little thinner and wider than usual because they will shrink as they cook.
Swap option: Use ground turkey to make these a little lighter or omit the bun for a keto diet-friendly version.
