Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Finely chop the 1 medium onion and 1/4 cup fresh parsley. Slice the 1/2 cup black olives into rings.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, combine the 1.5 lb ground beef, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 egg, half the chopped onion, half the parsley, and 1/2 tsp salt. Mix until just combined.

  3. Step 3

    Shape the mixture into a loaf and place in a baking dish. Press the sliced olives and remaining parsley onto the top.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the 1 cup beef broth around the loaf, not over the topping. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and the top is browned.

  5. Step 5

    Let rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve with the pan juices spooned over. Add black pepper or extra herbs if you like.
