Add half a deciliter of cream and a teaspoon of beet brine to the bread crumbs and mix.

Heat neutral oil in a pan and sweat the chopped onions with a little salt until lightly cooked.

Chop about 1.5 deciliters of pickled beets in a food mixer and add to a bowl.

Add one egg, the soaked bread crumbs, half a teaspoon of white pepper, two teaspoons of salt, a tablespoon of capers, and the cooked onions to the bowl and mix until combined.

Measure 400 grams of ground beef and add to the beet mixture, folding everything together.

Preheat a cast iron pan and add a pad of Finlandia butter and a little olive oil.

Form patties from the mixture and drop them into the hot butter.

Cook until done, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C) for ground beef.
