Mix the blend: Stir all five ingredients together in a small bowl until evenly combined.
Season the mince: Scatter half the blend over 500g of beef mince, add an egg yolk and mix gently with your hands.
Coat the edges: Shape 4 patties about 2.5cm thick, then roll the rim of each one through the seasoning left on the board.
Season on the heat: Sprinkle a pinch over both sides as the patties cook, with a final light pass from a distance just before they come off.
