Preparation

Step 1

Then, I added about 1/2 c. of Panko (NO EGG!), mixed it all together, and formed them into patties:
I refrigerated these for about 2 hours prior to dinner. It allowed all the garlic and onion to release into the meat. Also, the soy sauce and balsamic are super flavorful – more so after a few hours in the box. You could grill or broil these, but I chose to cook them in my 10″ skillet.
