1/2 Street Burger Recipe

Mix the Ingredients

In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Form the Patty

Shape the mixture into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.

Preheat the Grill or Pan

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Cook the Patty

Place the burger patty on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare or longer if desired.

Slice the Vegetables

While the burger is cooking, slice the tomato, pickles, red onion, and cucumber.

Toast the Bun

If desired, lightly toast the burger bun on the grill or in a toaster.

Layer the Toppings

Spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom half of the bun. Place the cooked burger patty on top, followed by the sliced tomato, pickles, red onion, and cucumber.

Finish Assembly

Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
