1
Season the Beef
In a bowl, combine the 1/2 lb of Angus beef with 1 tsp of salt and 0.5 tsp of black pepper. Mix gently to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
2
Form the Patty
Shape the seasoned beef into a patty approximately 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of the patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

3
Preheat the Grill or Skillet
Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a little oil to prevent sticking.
4
Cook the Patty
Place the patty on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patty and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is achieved.
5
Add Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on top of the patty and cover it to help the cheese melt.

6
Prepare the Bun
While the patty is cooking, cut the burger bun in half and lightly toast it on the grill or in a toaster.
7
Add Toppings
On the bottom half of the toasted bun, layer the lettuce, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, and onion slices.
8
Finish the Burger
Place the top half of the bun over the toppings to complete your Vig Burger. Serve immediately.
