Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patty

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground Angus beef with salt and black pepper. Gently mix until the seasonings are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Form the Patty

    Shape the mixture into a patty that is about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of the patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C).

  2. 4

    Cook the Patty

    Place the patty on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patty and add the cheese slice on top. Cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 5

    Toast the Bun

    While the patty is grilling, lightly toast the brioche roll on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    On the bottom half of the toasted brioche roll, place the lettuce leaf, followed by the grilled patty with melted cheese. Add the sliced tomato, onion, and pickle chips on top.

  3. 7

    Complete the Burger

    Finish by placing the top half of the brioche roll over the toppings. Serve immediately.
