Method
Burger Preparation
Prepare the Burger Patties
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Form the Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.
Balsamic Glaze Preparation
Cook the Balsamic Glaze
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, and olive oil. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Set aside.
Cooking the Burger
Glaze the Burgers
During the last minute of cooking, brush the balsamic glaze onto the patties, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
Assembling the Burger
Assemble the Burger
