Ingredients

12 ounces coarsely ground beef chuck

2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons lightly crushed fennel seed
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 hamburger buns, for serving
Arugula, sliced tomato, pesto and giardiniera, for serving
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.

Steps:

Gently toss together the chuck and sirloin in a large bowl, making sure not to overwork the mixture.
Combine the dried parsley, fennel seed, granulated garlic and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the beef along, with the Parmesan, and fold gently to combine. Form the beef into four 3/4-inch-thick patties, each about 4 inches in diameter. Sprinkle each generously with salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
