Ingredients:

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (90/10 blend)
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 6 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp grass-fed butter
  • 1 small shallot, finely minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp dried oregano

Instructions:

  1. Heat a 12 inch (30cm) cast iron skillet over medium high heat until it is wisping with smoke. Note: This ensures the meat sears instantly instead of sticking.
  2. Add the ground beef as a single, flat disc without breaking it up.
  3. Press down firmly with a spatula and sear undisturbed for 4 minutes until a deep crust forms.
  4. Flip the large chunks and break them into bite-sized morsels using your wooden spatula.
  5. Cook for 3-4 minutes. If fat pools, drain the meat in a fine mesh strainer then return it to the pan.
  6. Clear a center space and add the butter, shallots, and rosemary. Note: This allows the aromatics to fry directly in the fat.
  7. Sauté for 1 minute until the shallots are translucent and fragrant.
  8. Add the garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, and dried oregano stirring constantly for 60 seconds.
  9. Remove the pan from the heat to prevent the garlic from burning.
  10. Fold in the fresh thyme and parsley until the greens wilt slightly from the residual heat. Make sure you don't skimp on that initial 4 minute sear. It’s tempting to start hacking away at the meat as soon as it hits the pan, but patience is what separates a good Ground Beef Recipe with Garlic and Herbs from a velvety and crispy one. You want that bottom side to look almost like a well seared burger patty before you move it.
