Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 0.25 cup Italian breadcrumbs
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, egg, parsley, oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Using your hands, gently mix all the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the patties dense.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing up during cooking.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.

Step 6

Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving them, allowing a golden crust to form.

Step 7

Flip the patties and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.

Step 8

Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for 3 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the Italian beef patties on their own with a side of roasted vegetables, over a bed of pasta, or sandwiched in a crusty Italian roll.
