Prime Rib Burger (8 Oz) Recipe

Burger Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Patty

   In a large bowl, combine the ground prime rib, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the burger juicy.

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   Divide the mixture into two equal portions (about 8 ounces each) and shape each portion into a patty that is slightly larger than the burger buns. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F for medium doneness.

4. 4

   Add Cheese

   In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover with a lid to melt the cheese.

5. 5

   Toast the Buns

   While the patties are cooking, split the burger buns and toast them on the grill or in a separate skillet until golden brown.

6. 6

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, pickles, and any condiments (ketchup, mustard) to taste. Top with the other half of the bun.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the prime rib burgers immediately while hot, with your choice of sides.
