Directions
- 1
Place the ground beef in a large bowl and season generously with salt and black pepper.
- 2
Add the chopped onion, olives, parsley, garlic powder and egg with a drizzle of olive oil. Mix with your hands until everything is evenly combined — do not over-work the meat.
- 3
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into round patties about ¾ inch (2 cm) thick, pressing a shallow indent into the center of each.
- 4
Brush both sides of each patty with olive oil and place onto a preheated BBQ grill over medium-high heat.
- 5
Grill for 4–5 minutes per side until cooked through. Rest for 2 minutes before serving.
- 6
Serve on toasted buns with your favorite toppings: melted cheese, lettuce, tomato and BBQ sauce.
💡 Chef's Tip
Keep the patties refrigerated right up until grilling — cold patties hold their shape much better on the grill. Never press them down with a spatula or you'll lose all that great juice.
