1
Prep vegetables and condiments
Rinse lettuce and tomato. If not pre-sliced, slice the tomato into rounds.
2
Toast buns
Lightly toast the burger buns on a hot skillet or grill until golden and lightly crisp.
3
Season patties
Season both sides of the beef patties with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper.
4
Cook patties
Cook patties on a grill or skillet over medium-high heat, about 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness, or to your preferred level.
5
Assemble the burgers
Spread mayonnaise on the cut side of each bun. Layer a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, add a tomato slice, place a cooked patty on top, and finish with a sprinkle of extra salt and pepper if desired. Cap with the top bun.
