Method

Burger Components

Prepare the meat

Place the ground Angus beef in a bowl. Add kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Gently mix with your hands or a spatula until just combined — avoid overworking to keep patties tender.

Form patties

Divide the mixture into four equal portions (about 4 ounces each). Form into round patties about 3/4-inch thick and slightly wider than the brioche rolls; press a shallow dimple in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing during cooking.

Preheat grill

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high (about 400–450°F / 200–230°C). Brush the grates or pan lightly with neutral oil to prevent sticking.

Grill patties

Place patties on the hot grill. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium (internal temperature 130–135°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium). If adding cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last 1 minute of cooking and close the lid to melt. Do not press down on patties while grilling.

Rest patties

Transfer cooked patties to a plate and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 3–5 minutes to redistribute juices.

Toppings & Buns

Prep tomato and onion

While patties cook, slice the tomato into 1/4-inch thick slices. If using, thinly slice the red onion and separate lettuce leaves, patting dry with paper towels.

Toast brioche

Split the brioche rolls. Spread softened butter on cut sides. Toast buttered sides on the grill or in a skillet for 1–2 minutes until golden and lightly crisp. Remove from heat.

Assemble burgers

Spread about 1 tablespoon of the prepared sauce on the bottom bun. Place lettuce leaf on the sauce, then the rested beef patty, tomato slice, onion (if using), and pickles. Spread sauce on the top bun and close the burger.

Sauce (simple burger mayo)

Make the sauce

In a small bowl mix mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, dill pickle relish, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning. Refrigerate until assembling; makes roughly 1/2 cup.
