Ingredients
- 1 1/4 teaspoons dried marjoram
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika plus more for serving if desired
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and black pepper
- 1 pound lean ground pork
- 3/4 cup beer or dry white wine, or water, divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the marjoram, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well and pinch the marjoram with your fingers to release the herbal oils.
- Add the pork and 1/2 cup beer and mix until blended and the liquid is absorbed.
- Shape the mixture into 6 patties, each about 1-inch thick. Transfer to a plate, cover with plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, and up to 12 hours.
- Heat the oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage patties and cook until golden brown on both sides.
- Add the remaining 1/4 cup of beer and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the liquid is reduced (almost gone) and the patties are cooked through (165 degrees), about 5 to 7 minutes.
- If desired, sprinkle with a little more smoked paprika before serving.
