Steakburger Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side. If using cheese, place a slice on each patty in the last minute of cooking. Flip the patties and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium doneness.

4. 4

   Toast the Buns

   During the last minute of cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet until lightly golden.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burgers

   Place the cooked patties on the toasted buns. Top with lettuce, tomato, pickles (if using), ketchup, and mustard. Cover with the top bun and serve immediately.
