Method

Beef Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chuck

    Start by placing the certified 'Sterling' chuck in a mixing bowl. Ensure it's ground finely if you prefer a smooth texture or coarsely for a more rustic bite.

  2. 2

    Season the Meat

    Add salt and black pepper to the ground chuck. Mix gently with your hands until the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the meat.

  3. 3

    Form the Patties

    Divide the seasoned meat into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a round patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure the cooking surface is well-oiled to prevent sticking.

  2. 5

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness. If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.

Burger Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half. Optionally, you can toast them on the grill or in a toaster for added texture and flavor.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer lettuce, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese. Add a slice of tomato, pickles, and drizzle with ketchup and mustard to taste. Finish by placing the top half of the bun on.
