Preparation of the Patties

Prepare the Meat Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Avoid over-mixing to keep the burgers tender.

Form the Patties
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.
