Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and form into 4 equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or to your preferred level of doneness.

  3. 3

    Toast the Buns

    In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Place the brioche buns cut side down in the skillet and toast until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burgers

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer a leaf of green leaf lettuce, a slice of tomato, the cooked patty, a few slices of red onion, and dill pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides.
