Garlic and Herb Burger Recipe
Description
The Garlic and Herb Burger Recipe combines ground beef with garlic, Worcestershire sauce, fresh parsley, and seasonings to create flavorful patties. Forming a shallow well in the center prevents puffing during grilling, ensuring a more uniform cook. Medium-well burgers are achieved by grilling six minutes per side and rotating for grill marks. Adding Swiss cheese near the end melts over the patties for added richness. The suggested condiments and toppings like sautéed mushrooms and fresh vegetables complement the savory beef and garlic flavors.
The texture balances juicy interior and slightly crisped grill marks on the outside. The Worcestershire and herbs give a savory complexity. This style of burger suits those who enjoy classic grilled meat with herbal notes and moist, tender patties. Preparation attention, like the indentation and timing, helps achieve consistent results for home grilling.
Toppings such as lettuce, tomato, mushrooms, and cheese offer contrast in texture and familiarity. The sautéed mushrooms add earthiness, while crisp lettuce and fresh tomato bring freshness to the burger assembly.
Ingredients
For the Burger Patties:
- 2 lbs ground beef preferably 80/20 fat content - not too lean
- 2 garlic pressed or minced, large cloves
- 2 1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup parsley finely chopped, fresh
- 1/4 tsp salt
- pinch black pepper
Topping and Condiment ideas:
- 6 burger buns
- 6 lices swiss cheese
- 6 green leaf lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato sliced, large
- 8 oz mushroom In a little oil with salt & pepper, sautéed
- 1/2 cup onion freshly sliced or caramelized
- ketchup to serve
- mayonnaise to serve
Instructions
- Preheat Grill to medium/high heat. In a large bowl, combine 2 lbs beef, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 1/2 Tbsp Worchestershire, 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley, 1/4 tsp salt and a pinch of pepper.
- It's easiest to mix the meat with your hands or using a stand mixer with paddle attachment.
- Divide beef mixture into 6 equal portions and form round patties (Each one was 5 1/2" in diameter and weighed 5 1/2 oz). Push your fingers around the middle of your patty to create a slight well in the center. This is important for an even surface since burgers puff up as they cook.
- For medium well burgers, grill 6 min on each side with the grill closed (we rotate them 45˚ after 3 min to create fancy grill marks). You know patties are done when you push on the top and juices run clear instead of white. Top with cheese in the last minute of grilling.
