Preparing the Patties

Season the Beef
In a bowl, mix the Angus beef patties with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Ensure that both sides of the patties are evenly coated with the seasoning.

Shape the Patties
Gently shape the seasoned beef into two equal patties, making sure they are slightly larger than the burger buns as they will shrink while cooking.
