Method

Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C).
In a bowl, mix oregano, thyme, garlic powder, and salt, then press onto both sides of the beef patties.
Place the seasoned patties in a roasting pan and add beef stock to the pan.
Cover the pan with foil and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the internal temperature of the beef reaches 71°C (160°F).
Remove the pan from the oven and let the patties rest for 5 minutes.
While the patties rest, toast the buns in the oven or on a grill.
In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, red onion, olive oil, and vinegar to make the relish.
Assemble the burgers with lettuce, tomato, relish, and condiments.
