Step 1
1. The recipe for preparing a hamburger patty should begin with the ground meat. Only by making the meat mixture yourself can you be sure of its quality and freshness. For this, take fresh beef, wash it and dry it thoroughly. Cut the meat into small pieces and pass it through a meat grinder (preferably twice). Add egg, breadcrumbs, and spices to the meat, then season with salt and pepper to taste.

2. The minced meat should be thoroughly kneaded until it reaches a uniform consistency. It's better to shape the patties with hands moistened with water to prevent the meat from sticking. They should be made quite thin, slightly less than 1 centimeter. The patty should be slightly larger than the bun.
