Ingredients

• 1 pound Lean ground beef
• 2 cloves Fresh garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Mustard powder
• 1 large Egg, lightly beaten
• 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Cold water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, minced garlic, and finely chopped onion.

Step 2

Add the paprika, black pepper, ground cumin, and mustard powder to the beef mixture, ensuring even distribution of the spices.

Step 3

Gently fold in the lightly beaten egg, breadcrumbs, and fresh parsley into the spiced beef mixture.

Step 4

Add the cold water to help bind the ingredients together and moisten the patties.

Step 5

Using clean hands, divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each portion into a patty, ensuring they are about half an inch thick.

Step 6

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the beef patties in the skillet without crowding.

Step 7

Cook the patties for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute within the patties, ensuring they remain moist and flavorful.

Step 9

Serve the low-sodium beef patties with your choice of whole grain buns and fresh vegetables or enjoy them with a side of your favorite salad.
