1
Form the Patties
In a mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until combined. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
2
Cook the Patties
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patties in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

3
Grill the Buns
While the patties are cooking, melt the butter in a separate skillet or on a griddle over medium heat. Place the burger buns cut-side down onto the skillet and grill until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
4
Fry the Onions
In the same skillet, add oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced onions and sauté until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

5
Assemble the Burger
Once everything is cooked, place a beef patty on the bottom half of each grilled bun. Top with caramelized onions. Place the top half of the bun on the burger to complete.
6
Serve
Serve the burgers hot, with your choice of sides, such as fries or a salad.
