Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground ox meat with salt and black pepper. Mix well until evenly seasoned.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

  5. 5

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burgers

    Place the cooked patties on the bottom half of the toasted buns. Top with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Cover with the top half of the buns.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the burgers hot with extra condiments on the side, if desired.
