Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 4 burger buns
- Toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, cheese (as desired)
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp mustard
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and pepper. Form into four patties about 1 inch thick.
- Make an indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.
- Grill patties for about 4 minutes on one side until grill marks form, then flip and cook for an additional 3 minutes for medium-rare.
- Toast burger buns cut-side down on the grill for about 1 minute until lightly toasted.
- Assemble your burger by layering sauce on one bun half, adding the grilled patty, and piling on your desired toppings before topping with the other bun half.
