Posted by Tiffany Hall-Graham

Yield: 6 servings

1 1/2 lb. ground beef round
3 cloves garlic; crushed
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. coarsely ground pepper
1 cup Parmesan cheese; grated
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. butter
1/3 cup chopped parsley
Lemon wedges
 

1. Mix meat-mixture ingredients (first 6) until well blended.  Shape into twelve 1 1/4-inch thick patties.  Let stand 15 minutes.
2. Heat oil and butter in a large heavy non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Add patties and cook until well browned on both sides and no longer pink in centre, about 5 minutes.
4. Sprinkle with remaining parsley.  Serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over the patties.
