Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 teaspoons dried sage
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons dried basil
• 2 pounds ground beef (75% to 80% lean)
• 0.25 teaspoon dried marjoram
• 0.125 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place ground beef into a large bowl.

Step 2

Divide beef mixture into 8 patties.

Step 3

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook patties in the hot skillet until firm and no longer pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Step 4

Gather the ingredients.

Step 5

Stir brown sugar, sage, salt, basil, black pepper, onion powder, marjoram, and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl.

Step 6

Sprinkle over beef and use your hands to mix until evenly distributed. Cover and refrigerate until flavors have blended, about 24 hours.
