🛒 Ingredients

5 servings

5
  • 1 kg (2.2 lb) ground beef short ribs
  • 1 packet dry onion soup mix
  • 1 red onion, finely diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Fresh chives, chopped
  • Flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • Dried oregano
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Finely chop the onion, garlic, and all fresh herbs by hand or pulse briefly in a food processor — avoid over-processing into a paste.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the ground rib meat with the chopped aromatics and the dry onion soup mix, which acts as a natural binder.

  3. 3

    Season with salt and pepper to taste, folding gently to keep the mixture light and airy.

  4. 4

    Shape into 5 equal patties of roughly 200 g each, cover, and refrigerate — overnight resting deepens the flavors significantly.

  5. 5

    Grill over high heat until a caramelized crust forms on both sides and the patties are cooked through to your liking.

💡 Chef's Tip

Handle the meat as little as possible when mixing — overworking it makes the patties dense and tough instead of juicy and tender.
