1
Season the Beef
In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently to incorporate the seasonings without overworking the meat.
2
Form the Patty
Shape the seasoned beef into an 8 oz burger patty, making a slight indentation in the center to help it cook evenly.
3
Cook the Patty
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

4
Butter the Bun
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on the cut side of the brioche bun.
5
Toast the Bun
Place the bun, buttered side down, on the grill or skillet for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and toasted.

6
Combine
Once the patty is cooked and the bun is toasted, place the burger patty on the bottom half of the brioche bun.
7
Top It Off
Cover with the top half of the brioche bun and serve immediately.
