Steps

1. 1

   Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat or prepare a gas or charcoal grill. Grease the grill pan or grilling rack lightly with vegetable oil.

2. 2

   Begin by mixing ground chuck, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, tomato paste, salt, and pepper in a spacious bowl. Using your hands, delicately blend the ingredients together to create 8 patties. Shape each patty to be around 1 inch thick and 4 inches wide.

3. 3

   Cook the burgers on the grill, flipping them once after 3 minutes. Ensure they are grilled for a total of 6 minutes to achieve a medium level of doneness.
