Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect level of doneness, use a meat thermometer to ensure the patties reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for medium-rare, 165°F (74°C) for medium, or 170°F (77°C) for well-done.
  • For a richer flavor, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork or veal in the patties.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the patties; this will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • To make a quick and easy onion jus, simply deglaze the pan with beef broth, red wine, or even water, and then season with salt, pepper, and herbs.
  • Serve the smothered patties with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
