How to Make Beef Lindstrom

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  2. Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a slightly flattened, 1-inch thick patty.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the beef patties.
  4. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare. Reduce heat slightly if browning too quickly.
  5. Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, spoon off excess fat from the skillet, leaving behind the flavorful browned butter. Serve the Beef Lindstrom patties immediately with the pan juices, crispy fried potatoes (recipe not included), or on toasted bread.
  7. (Optional) Top each patty with a fried egg for extra richness.
