Ingredients
  

For the Patties
  • 1 lb Ground Beef (90% lean) Substitution Note: Use ground turkey for a lighter option but adjust seasonings for flavor.
  • 1 small Grated Onion Prep Note: Don't brown; just soften to avoid caramelization.
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley (chopped) Substitution Note: Replace with dried parsley if fresh is unavailable, using less (1/3 amount).
  • 1 Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Milk (almond or regular) Provides moisture; a fantastic dairy-free option with almond milk.
  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs Substitution Note: Use ground oats for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar Adds tanginess and helps tenderize the beef.
  • 1 tsp Herbs (Dried Oregano and Mint) Key flavor components; if unavailable, use dried basil, but adjust quantities.
For Serving
  • 2 pieces Lemon Wedges Served fresh for added brightness and flavor enhancement.

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Sauté grated onion in olive oil over medium heat until soft (about 3 minutes). Add minced garlic and remove from heat. Let it cool while you prepare the rest.
  2. Mix breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, parsley, red wine vinegar, and dried herbs in a bowl. Gently fold in the cooled onion mixture for a flavorful base.
  3. Add ground beef to the mixture and stir until just combined. This helps keep your patties tender, so avoid overmixing!
  4. Shape the mixture into 3/4-inch thick patties and place them on a lined baking sheet, ensuring there's space between each patty for even baking.
  5. Chill patties in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. This step is essential for helping them retain their shape during cooking.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). They should emerge golden and fragrant!
  7. Serve immediately, squeezing fresh lemon juice over the top to enhance the Mediterranean flavors.
