1
Prepare the Beef Patties
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and shape each part into a patty, about ¾ inch thick.
2
Cook the Patties
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef patties. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness, or until the desired doneness is reached.

3
Prepare the Buns
While the patties are cooking, slice the pub buns in half and lightly toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
4
Chop the Vegetables
Wash the lettuce leaves and pat them dry. Slice the tomato and onion into thin rounds.
5
Assemble the Burger
Once the patties are cooked, place each patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Layer with lettuce, a slice of tomato, a few rings of onion, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
