1
Mix the Meat
In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 oz of ground sirloin and 4 oz of ground chuck. Use your hands to mix the meats until they are fully incorporated.
2
Season the Mixture
Add 1 tsp of salt, 0.5 tsp of black pepper, and 0.5 tsp of garlic powder to the meat mixture. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
3
Form the Patties
Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty that is about 1 inch thick.

4
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.
5
Cook the Patties
Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, until a nice crust forms. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare doneness.

6
Prepare the Toppings
While the burgers are cooking, wash and prepare the toppings. Rinse the lettuce leaves and slice the tomato and onion.
7
Assemble the Burger
Once the patties are cooked to your liking, place each patty on a burger roll. Top with lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a few rings of onion. Close the burger with the top half of the roll.
8
Serve
Serve the burgers immediately while hot, with your favorite sides.
