1
Prepare the Beef
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
2
Form the Patty
Shape the seasoned beef mixture into a round patty approximately ¾ inch thick.
3
Cook the Patty
Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

4
Prepare the Veggies
Wash the lettuce leaves and slice the tomato into thick rounds.
5
Assemble the Burger
On the bottom half of the burger bun, place the cooked beef patty. Top it with the lettuce and tomato slices. Finally, place the top half of the bun on the burger.
