Prime Rib Cheeseburger Recipe

Burger Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Patty

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground prime rib, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined to avoid overworking the meat.

2. 2

   Form the Patty

   Shape the meat mixture into a round patty, about 1 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of the patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

3. 3

   Cook the Patty

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patty to the hot surface and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patty and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the internal temperature reaches at least 130°F (medium-rare) or higher if desired.

4. 4

   Prepare the Bun

   While the patty is cooking, lightly toast the burger bun on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of the toasted bun, place a leaf of lettuce, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese. Top with slices of tomato and pickles. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then close the burger with the top half of the bun.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve immediately while hot, with your choice of side dishes.
