1 tsp oil for frying
1 small onion, diced small
2 garlic cloves, diced small
1 lb lean ground beef
1 egg
2 tps Dijon mustard
1 tsp Montreal steak spice
½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
Fry the onion in the oil over medium heat for a couple minutes until soft. Add the garlic and fry for another minute or so.
- Mix all the ingredients (onion/garlic, hamburger, egg and spices) together in a bowl.
- Using your hands, make sure the mixture is well mixed. Form into four patties about ½ inch thick.
- Place patties on a greased grill over medium-high heat. Close lid and cook, turning patties once, for about 10 minutes or until no longer pink inside. (They’ll be less likely to stick to the grill if they’re chilled or frozen first.)
If you’re making these ahead, they can be refrigerated for up to six hours. Or layer them between waxed paper in an airtight contain and freeze. They can be cooked from frozen.
I also sometimes add diced, fried, drained mushrooms to the mix.
