Description
A mouthwatering recipe for juicy hamburgers that are flavorful and perfect for any backyard cookout.
Ingredients
Scale
- 500 g (1 lb) ground beef (80/20 fat content)
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 4 burger buns (preferably brioche or sesame seed)
- Assorted toppings (lettuce, tomato, cheese, pickles)
Instructions
- Prepare the meat by combining ground beef, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Gently mix and divide into four equal portions.
- Form each portion into thick patties with a small indentation in the center.
- Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat (around 200°C or 400°F).
- Cook the patties on the hot grill or skillet for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until medium doneness is reached (internal temp of 70°C or 160°F).
- Rest the burgers for 5 minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute.
- Assemble each bun with a patty and your choice of toppings.
Notes
Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to keep them moist. You can prepare burger patties a day ahead and refrigerate them.
