Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup fresh chopped basil
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- ¼ cup beef stock
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, egg, crumbled feta, chopped basil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Form the mixture into 14 equal-sized patties.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties 4-5 minutes per side until desired doneness. Remove patties and set aside.
- Drain excess grease from skillet. Lower heat to medium, add beef stock to deglaze pan, scraping up browned bits.
- Whisk in heavy whipping cream, Italian seasoning, chopped green onions, and tomato paste until combined.
- Simmer sauce until it thickens, adjusting salt and pepper as needed.
- Return patties to skillet, coat with sauce, and cook 2-3 minutes to meld flavors.
- Serve immediately with desired sides or greens.
Notes
- Avoid over-mixing meat to keep burgers tender.
- Deglaze skillet thoroughly to enhance sauce flavor.
- Adjust salt carefully, as feta cheese adds saltiness.
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor.
- Refrigerate patties before cooking to help them hold shape.
- Leftover burgers and sauce can be refrigerated together in airtight container for 3-4 days.
- Freeze patties without sauce; thaw and reheat in skillet.
