Ingredients

• 500 g Ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tbsp Fresh chives, chopped
• 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 medium Onion, finely grated
• 3 tbsp Breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 4 Brioche buns, toasted
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 4 Tomato slices
• 4 Cheese slices (optional)
• 0 to taste Ketchup
• 0 to taste Mayonnaise

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, parsley, cilantro, chives, thyme, garlic, grated onion, breadcrumbs, and egg.

Step 2

Add the salt and black pepper, and mix everything gently with your hands until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to avoid tough burgers.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick and make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from bulging during cooking.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush it with olive oil.

Step 5

Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they reach your desired level of doneness (internal temperature should be 160°F/71°C for well-done). If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the final minute of cooking and cover the pan to let the cheese melt.

Step 6

Toast the brioche buns lightly on the skillet or grill for about 30 seconds until golden and warm.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by layering the bottom bun with a lettuce leaf, a cooked patty, a slice of tomato, and any optional toppings you prefer, such as ketchup or mayonnaise.

Step 8

Place the top bun on and serve immediately with your favorite sides like fries or a fresh salad.
