# Steps to Follow:

Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Arrange five evenly sized mounds of thinly sliced onions in the skillet.

Form the seasoned beef into five equal balls and place one ball on top of each onion mound.
04 -
Using a sturdy spatula, flatten each beef ball firmly over the onions to form thin patties.
