How to Make 21 Club Hamburger

Combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Gently mix until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Shape the beef mixture into 4 patties, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from bulging during cooking.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. For a nice sear, avoid moving the patties during the first few minutes of cooking.
While the patties cook, toast the burger buns lightly. You can do this in the skillet if desired.
Spread mayonnaise on the bottom bun, add lettuce, tomato, onion, and the cooked burger patty. Top with cheese if desired.
Add ketchup, mustard and pickles to your liking. Finish with the top bun, and serve immediately.
