Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Take 0.5 pounds of fresh ground beef and shape it into a patty approximately 1 inch thick. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Heat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to prevent sticking.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patty

    Place the beef patty on the hot grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it. Flip the patty and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Toast the Roll

    While the patty is cooking, place the Martin's Potato Roll on the grill for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking to toast it lightly.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Once the patty is cooked to your liking, remove it from the grill. Place the cooked patty on the toasted Martin's Potato Roll. Top with a leaf of lettuce, slices of tomato, and onion.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the burger hot with your choice of sides or condiments. Enjoy your Hero Burger!
