Method

Preparing the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.

Cooking the Burger Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, you can add a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without pressing down, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium doneness. If using cheese, add a slice on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover to melt.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the patties are cooking, wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato and onion into thin rounds.

  2. 6

    Toast the Brioche Rolls

    If desired, lightly toast the brioche rolls on the grill or in a toaster for added flavor and texture.

  3. 7

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each brioche roll, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty. Top with tomato and onion slices. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then place the top half of the roll on the burger.
