Observations

How long does it take to cook a frozen beef patty?
The pan should always be preheated over high heat. Cook the patty while still frozen for 1 minute on each side, after seasoning both sides. Once both sides are browned, lower the heat and cook the patty for 5 to 6 minutes, turning it regularly.

How long can you keep a beef patty in the refrigerator?
Freshly purchased beef patties should be eaten promptly (within 24 hours).

Can you cook a beef patty in the microwave?
Cooking a beef patty in the microwave is not recommended, as the meat will turn out gray and dry.

Which fat should you choose: olive oil or butter?
It depends on the fat content of your beef patty. If it is low in fat, butter is a good option, adding richness and extra juiciness.
On the other hand, if your meat is fattier, opt for olive oil, which adds fat that isn’t present in the meat because it isn’t an animal fat.
