Step-by-step
- Preheat the barbecue, chargrill, pan grill or frying pan (skillet).
- Place all the ingredients in a large bowl and blend the mixture with your hands, taking care not to overwork it. Season with salt and pepper.
- Form the mixture into 8 long oval patties, about 2.5cm (1in) thick.
- Chargrill, grill or fry the patties for about 5 minutes on each side for rare, or to your taste.
