Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine without overworking the meat. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each into an 8oz patty.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat olive oil in a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, split the Public House buns and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burgers

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a cooked patty. Top with shredded lettuce and sliced tomato. Place the top half of the bun on top to complete the burger.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your favorite side, such as fries or a salad.
