Ingredients
- 2 lbs. 80/20 ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 ½ teaspoons fine kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 6 hamburger buns , toasted
Burger Toppings
- tomatoes
- lettuce
- Pickles
- Raw red onions
- Condiments , like ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise and BBQ sauce
- Fried onions or caramelized onions
- sliced cheese
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper, and set aside.
- Place the ground beef in a large bowl. Pour the Worcestershire sauce onto the meat.
- In a small bowl, combine the salt, onion powder, garlic powder and black pepper. Stir until combined.
- Pour the seasonings on top of the beef.
- Using clean hands, break the beef into smaller pieces and gently toss together. Do not knead, as this will create tougher burgers.
- Divide your meat into six portions, and form the patties with your hands or a burger press. (Mine were 1/3 lb. each and about 1 ½” thick.) Place the patties onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Using a finger or a spoon, create a well in the top of each burger. This will prevent the burger from shrinking up and bloating in the middle.
- Place the burgers in the fridge while you warm your skillet.
- Place a cast iron or heavy bottomed skillet over medium-high heat on the stovetop, and heat until screaming hot.
- Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes per side, flipping only once and not pressing down with the spatula. (If you press down, your burgers will lose moisture.)
- Use a meat thermometer to take the burgers’ temperature. When the burgers is within 5-10 degrees of your desired temperature, remove from the skillet. Place it on a plate, cover with foil and let rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Serve on a bun with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
