1
Form the Patties
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 lb of ground beef with 1 tsp of salt and 0.5 tsp of black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly to season the meat. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form each into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick.
2
Chill the Patties
Place the formed patties on a plate and put them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up, which will help them hold their shape while cooking.

3
Preheat the Grill or Pan
Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.
4
Cook the Patties
Once the grill or skillet is hot, place the patties on it. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

5
Prepare the Toppings
While the patties are cooking, wash the lettuce leaves and slice the tomato and onion. Cut the tomato into thick slices and the onion into rings or thin slices.
6
Build the Burger
On the bottom half of each hamburger bun, spread 1 tbs of mayonnaise. Place the cooked patty on top, followed by the lettuce, tomato slice, and onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
