Using a metal spatula, split the patties apart from each other.

Step 3

Add oil to a cast-iron pan set to medium-high.

Step 4

Season each side with salt and pepper. Note: allowing just a couple of minutes to thaw will help the seasonings stick.

Step 5

Place frozen, seasoned patties onto the hot cast-iron pan.

Step 6

Cook 3-5 minutes on each side, then flip.

Step 7

Continue flipping until a nice crust has formed — about 15 minutes.
