Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp parsley, thyme, turmeric, ginger, 1 tsp salt, and coconut aminos. Mix gently with your hands until just combined — do not overwork the meat. Divide into 4 equal portions and press each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick, making a shallow dimple in the center of each with your thumb to prevent doming during cooking.

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden at the edges, about 10–12 minutes.
