Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a large bowl, gently mix the ground Angus beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them and place a slice of cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, you can toast the brioche buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burgers

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, some onion rings, pickles, and your choice of ketchup and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or salad.
