Parsley Peppercorn Beef Patties

Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
3 cloves garlic, minced
34 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
13 cup beef or chicken broth
13 cup half and half
 
Instructions
1. Combine beef, garlic, parsley, and salt and form into small patties. 

2. Sprinkle patties with pepper on both sides and press to adhere.  Let patties rest 15 minutes. 

3. Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat.  Sear patties until browned on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.  Remove from skillet and set aside. 

4. Add broth to skillet and scrape with wood spoon to loosen any browned bits.  Add half and half and stir.  Return patties to skillet and simmer over low heat until patties are cooked to desired doneness and sauce has reduced a bit, about 3 to 5 minutes.

This recipe is from Beyond Kimchee.  It was tasty enough, but I think we all would have liked more flavor in the patties themselves.
