Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil (e.g., vegetable or canola oil)
- 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon water
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped shallot, minced garlic, parsley, breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until evenly combined. Avoid overworking the meat to ensure tender patties.
Step 2
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. Press a small indentation into the center of each patty with your thumb to help it cook evenly.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted and starts to sizzle, add the patties to the skillet, leaving space between each one.
Step 4
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust and are cooked to your preferred level of doneness (internal temperature of 160°F for well-done). Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside to rest on a plate, loosely covered with aluminum foil.
Step 5
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Crack the eggs into the skillet, ensuring the yolks stay intact, and season lightly with a pinch of salt. Cook until the whites are set and the yolks are slightly runny for sunny-side-up eggs (about 2-3 minutes). For firmer yolks, cover the skillet with a lid for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Step 6
To assemble, place each steak haché patty on a plate and carefully top it with a sunny-side-up egg. Garnish with a sprinkle of parsley if desired, and serve immediately with your choice of side dishes such as fries, salad, or crusty bread.
