🧂 Ingredients (Makes 4 patties)

• 1 lb (450 g) ground beef — 80/20 blend (80% lean, 20% fat)

• 1 tsp salt

• ½ tsp black pepper

• ½ tsp garlic powder (optional but flavorful)

🍔 Optional Add-ins:

🔪 Instructions

1. Mix the Meat Gently

In a large bowl:

• Add ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce.

• Mix lightly with your hands — don’t overwork it, or your burgers will turn tough.

💡 Tip: Cold hands and cold meat = juicier burgers.

2. Form the Patties

• Divide mixture into 4 equal portions (about ¼ lb each).

• Roll each portion into a ball, then press gently into a ¾-inch thick patty.

• Press a small indentation in the center with your thumb — this prevents puffing during cooking.

3. Cook Your Patties

🔥 Grill Method:

• Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).

• Grill patties 3–4 minutes per side for medium doneness.

• Flip only once!

• Add cheese slices during the last 30 seconds if desired.

🍳 Skillet (Stovetop) Method:

• Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.

• Add a small amount of oil or butter.

• Cook patties 3–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness.

• Let rest for 2 minutes before serving.

🔥 Oven-Broil Method:

• Place patties on a foil-lined baking sheet.

• Broil on high for 4–5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.

4. Assemble the Burger

Serve patties on toasted buns with your favorite toppings:

• Classic: lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, mustard

• Cheesy: cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack

• Gourmet: caramelized onions, bacon, blue cheese, and arugula

🌟 Burger Tips for Perfection

• ✅ Use 80/20 beef for the best flavor and juiciness.

• ❄️ Keep meat cold until cooking time.

• 🚫 Don’t press down on the patties while cooking — it squeezes out the juices.

• 🌡️ Cook to 160°F (71°C) internal temp for food safety.

• 🧀 Add cheese just before removing from heat so it melts perfectly.
