Ingredients

1 lb (450 g) ground beef (blend with some chuck or sirloin)
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 hamburger buns
4 tbsp (60 g) unsalted butter, softened
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp (15 ml) chopped fresh parsley or chives
Arugula or lettuce (optional)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley; mix well and form into four small discs or one log to chill until slightly firm.  
2. Form four patties, season generously with salt and pepper, and cook on a hot grill or skillet 3–5 minutes per side to desired doneness.  
3. Place a disc of garlic-herb butter atop each hot patty right after removing from heat so it melts over the burger.  
4. Toast buns with a little butter if desired, assemble burgers with optional arugula, and serve immediately.
