Divide the mixture into four and use your hands to form even sized patties, about two to three centimetres thick.
Heat a little Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a large frying pan, add a small amount of butter and cook the patties on a griddle pan or barbecue. Cook for five minutes a side for rare, or over a gentle heat for six to eight minutes turning once.
