Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375°F or 190°C).
  2. In a bowl, gently mix ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into four equal patties (about 6 oz each) with a slight indentation in the center.
  3. Grill patties for 4-5 minutes on one side without pressing down. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.

  5. Toast the buns cut-side down on the grill for about a minute until golden brown.
  6. Assemble the burgers by layering toppings on the bottom bun, adding the patty, and finishing with the top bun.
