Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend for flavor)
• 1 Egg
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1 tbsp Butter
• 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the patties remain tender.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a thick patty, mimicking the oval-like shape of a T-Bone steak.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until a deep golden-brown crust forms.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter over the patties to enhance flavor while they finish cooking.

Step 7

Continue cooking until the internal temperature of the patties reaches 160°F (71°C). This ensures they are fully cooked and safe to eat.

Step 8

Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and freshness.

Step 10

Serve alongside mashed potatoes, a fresh salad, or your favorite side dish. Enjoy!
