Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium–high heat (200ºC to 260ºC) and preheat a perforated grill pan over direct heat for about 10 minutes.
Mix the ground chuck, 1 tablespoon of the oregano, 1 teaspoon of the salt, 1 teaspoon of the pepper and the garlic. Then gently form four patties of equal size, each about 2 centimetres thick. With your thumb or the back of a spoon, make a shallow indentation about 2.5 centimetres wide in the centre of the patties to prevent them from forming a dome as they cook. Refrigerate the patties until ready to grill.
