Beef Patty

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently with your hands until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Avoid over-mixing, as this can make the patties tough.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions (approximately 4 ounces each). Shape each portion into a round patty, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, you may add a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Once the grill or pan is hot, place the patties on it. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them. This allows for a nice sear. Flip the patties and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium doneness. Adjust cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness.

  3. 5

    Rest the Patties

    Once cooked to your liking, remove the patties from the grill or pan and let them rest for 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute for a more flavorful bite.
