How to Make Best Beef Burgers
- In a large bowl, gently combine 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend recommended), 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder. Use your hands to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the meat. Avoid overmixing.
- Shape the mixture into 6 patties, each about 1-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from bulging during cooking.
- Lightly oil a grill or large skillet over medium-high heat. (For a gas grill, preheat to 375°F (190°C). For a charcoal grill, use medium-high heat.)
- Cook the burgers for 6-8 minutes per side for medium doneness, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) using a meat thermometer. Adjust cooking time depending on the thickness of your patties and desired level of doneness.
- Let the cooked burgers rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Serve your delicious burgers on toasted sesame seed buns with prepared horseradish, crisp romaine lettuce, and juicy slices of tomato.
