Servings 6 Serves
Calories 257kcal
Ingredients
- 500 g ground beef (1.1 lb)
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano see notes
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme see notes
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt or plain salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Add the ground beef to a large mixing bowl and break it up gently with a fork.
- Add the egg, panko breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, BBQ sauce, and herbs to the bowl. Mix everything together with your hands or a fork until just combined. Don’t overmix, or the patties can become tough.
- Divide the mixture into 6 even portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it using a burger press or your hands until it’s about 1cm (½ inch) thick.
- Line a plate or tray with baking paper and place the patties on top. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for 20 minutes to help them firm up before cooking.
- Heat a frying pan or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. You can cook them longer if you prefer well-done.
- Let the patties rest for 10 minutes before assembling your burgers. This helps keep them juicy.
- Assemble your burgers and serve alongside air fryer sweet potato fries or, for a lighter option, air fryer parsnips or salad.
Notes
- If you want to swap the dried herbs for fresh, use 2 tablespoons total of all fresh herbs. Chop them altogether.
