Make the Patties:
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, sauces, and seasonings. Mix until just combined, then form into 4 thick oval patties.

Melt 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 5 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Remove and keep warm. 🍽️
