In a separate pan, sauté onions in olive oil until soft, then add to the meat mixture.

Season the mixture with chili flakes, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Add 1 egg to the mixture to bind it together.

Mix the ingredients thoroughly by hand until well combined.

Test the seasoning by frying a small ball of the mixture and adjust seasoning as necessary.

Portion the mixture using an ice cream scoop for even burger sizes.

Press the portions into patties using a burger press or by hand.

Chill the formed patties in the fridge to help them set and allow flavors to meld.

Heat a pan and cook the patties, sealing one side before flipping to seal the other side.

Toast burger buns in the pan until golden brown.

Assemble the burger with horseradish sauce, lettuce, tomato, and chili sauce.
