Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped thyme, rosemary, parsley, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined and form into two patties.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burger patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness.
3. While the burgers are cooking, prepare the garlic aioli by mixing mayonnaise, lemon juice, and chopped capers in a small bowl.
