Ingredients
- 1½ pounds ground beef, 80% lean/20% fat; or ground chuck
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1½ teaspoons minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1½ teaspoons seasoned salt
- 4 brioche buns, toasted
Toppings
- lettuce, sliced tomatoes, sliced cheese, pickles, sliced onions, bacon, and sliced avocado optional
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or to 375°F.
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined (do not overmix).
- Divide the mixture into fourths and shape into patties using your hands. The patties should be about ¾ inch thick. Use the back of a spoon to make an indent in the middle of each patty to keep it from puffing up too much in the middle while cooking. Sprinkle patties with seasoned salt.
- Add burgers to the grill and cook for 3–3 ½ minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches about 140°F for a medium burger.
- Place each burger on a toasted bun and serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes
- Doneness guide: Measuring the internal temperature is the best way to gauge your burger’s doneness. Cook to:
- To pan fry. A cast-iron skillet works best for pan-frying burgers. Heat ½ tablespoon olive oil in the pan over high heat. When you put the burgers in, they should immediately sizzle. Cook until golden brown, 3–4 minutes on each side.
- Prep ahead of time. Form the ground beef into patties and keep them covered in the fridge for 1-2 days or freeze for up to 4 months. Separate each patty with wax paper or place each patty in a fold-top sandwich bag so they don't stick together.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 4 months.
- 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare (totally pink and warm)
- 140°F (60°C) for medium (strand of pink, starting to dry out)
- 150°F (66°C) for medium-well (grayish-pink, significantly drier)
