All-beef Recipe

All-Beef Burger Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Beef Mixture

   In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce.

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

3. 3

   Preheat the Grill or Pan

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

4. 4

   Cook the Patties

   Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned and then flip. If using cheese, place a slice on each patty after flipping and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

5. 5

   Toast the Buns

   While the patties are cooking, cut the burger buns in half and toast them on the grill or in a separate skillet until golden brown.

6. 6

   Assemble the Burgers

   Once the patties are cooked and the buns are toasted, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cooked patty, a slice of tomato, and any desired condiments like ketchup and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve immediately while hot, with any extra toppings or sides you desire.
