Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) ground beef (80/20 meat-to-fat ratio)
- 4 burger buns
- ½ onion, grated
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce
- 1 dash Tabasco sauce
- 1 lettuce
- 1 tomato
- 1 onion
- Pickles
- Cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Seasoning Blend: In a spacious mixing bowl, vigorously blend ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, grated onion, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco sauce, ensuring comprehensive and uniform seasoning distribution.
- Patty Formation: Divide the seasoned meat mixture into four equal portions, meticulously sculpting each into a compact, circular patty measuring roughly 4 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
- Cooking Preparation: Ignite a grill or heavy-bottomed skillet to medium-high heat, creating an optimal surface for achieving a perfect golden-brown exterior.
- Initial Searing: Arrange patties on the heated cooking surface, allowing them to develop a robust crust undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, then execute a precise flip using a sturdy spatula.
- Completing Cooking: Continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit for guaranteed food safety and optimal doneness.
- Bun Preparation and Assembly: Simultaneously toast burger buns until edges crisp and golden, then layer with crisp lettuce, juicy tomato slices, razor-thin onion rings, tangy pickle slices, and optional melting cheese.
- Final Presentation: Transfer sizzling patties onto prepared buns, allowing residual heat to gently melt cheese, and serve immediately for a restaurant-quality burger experience.
Notes
- Meat Mixing Mastery: Gently fold seasonings into ground beef to prevent overworking, which can make burgers tough and dense.
- Temperature Precision: Use a meat thermometer to ensure burgers reach 160°F for safe consumption without overcooking and losing juiciness.
- Patty Shaping Technique: Create a small dimple in the center of each patty to prevent bulging and ensure even cooking across the surface.
- Resting Rule: Allow cooked burgers to rest 3-5 minutes after grilling to redistribute juices, maintaining maximum flavor and tenderness.
