1
Mix the Beef
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
2
Shape the Patty
Form the mixture into a small patty, about 4oz in size, ensuring it is even in thickness for even cooking.

3
Heat the Grill or Skillet
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. You can add a little oil if using a skillet to prevent sticking.
4
Cook the Patty
Place the patty on the grill or skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

5
Toast the Bun
While the patty is cooking, toast the burger bun on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
6
Add Toppings
Once the patty is cooked, place it on the toasted bun. Top with a leaf of lettuce, two slices of tomato, and your choice of cheese.
7
Serve
Close the bun and serve immediately while hot, accompanied by your favorite sides.
