Instructions
- In a bowl gently mix together the ground beef, steak seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce. Split the meat mixture into 6 pieces.
- Take one piece of the meat and split it into 2 pieces. Shape both pieces into thin flat rounds that are about the size of your buns or a little bigger.
- Place about ¼ cup of shredded pepper jack cheese on top of one of the round patties. Carefully lift up the other patty, use a spatula if needed to avoid ripping any holes, and lay it on top of the cheese.
- Thoroughly pinch the edges together to ensure none of the cheese will melt out. Carefully pat the burger down a bit so that it is flat and not mounded. Gently press a small indent into the middle of the top of the patty, this will help to keep the patty flat while cooking.
- Very lightly season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper.
- Repeat steps 3-6 until all of the patties have been shaped.
- Heat a pan with 2 Tablespoons of oil over medium heat.
- Cook 1-2 patties at a time (depending on the size of your pan). Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked through. You can use an instant read thermometer, the center of the burgers should be 140°F.
- Once the patties are cooked, place onto your favorite hamburger bun and top with fresh arugula and crispy fried onions.
- Serve immediately, or keep warm in a warm oven until ready to serve. Take caution when biting into the burgers as the cheese may be hot!
Notes
- Make-ahead: You can assemble the Juicy Lucy burger patties up to 2 days ahead of time and store them in the fridge until ready to cook. You can even freeze the patties and store them for 2-3 months that way. Just thaw, then cook.
- Storage: Leftover burgers can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 days and reheated in the microwave or air fryer.
