In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the ground beef, fresh breadcrumbs, egg, milk, ground allspice, ginger, grated onion, salt, and freshly ground pepper to taste. Mix until just combined to ensure the patties remain tender. Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.

Place the patties in the skillet and fry them until they develop a beautiful brown crust, about 4-5 minutes on each side.
