Ingredients for Awesome Burgers

  • Lean Ground Beef
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • Steak Sauce
  • ½ cup milk
  • Fresh Ground Pepper

How to Make Awesome Burgers

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine all ingredients until just mixed. Avoid overmixing.
  2. Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties (about ¾ inch thick). Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your finger – this helps prevent bulging during cooking.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the patties on the preheated grill.
  4. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the patties are no longer pink. The indentation in the center should be filled in.
  5. Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
