Directions
- 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
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
Season with salt and pepper to taste, folding gently to keep the mixture light and airy.
- 4
Shape into 5 equal patties of roughly 200 g each, cover, and refrigerate — overnight resting deepens the flavors significantly.
- 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.
