Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 1/2 small onion, grated
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 3 hamburger rolls
Instructions
- Mix the ingredients: Combine ground beef, grated onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl. Mix gently with your hands until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.
- Form the patties: Divide the meat mixture into 3 equal portions and shape into uniform patties, slightly larger than your buns as they will shrink during cooking. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent them from bulging in the middle while cooking.
- Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium heat (approximately 350-375°F). Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Grill the burgers: Place the patties on the preheated grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F. Avoid pressing down on the burgers with a spatula as this releases their flavorful juices.
- Toast the buns: For an enhanced flavor and texture, place the hamburger buns cut-side down on the warming rack of the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted.
- Assemble and serve: Remove the burgers and buns from the grill. Place each patty on a toasted bun and add your favorite toppings like cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, or condiments.
Notes
- For the juiciest burgers, don’t use lean ground beef; the 80/20 fat ratio is ideal for flavor and moisture.
- Let the patties rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes before grilling to ensure even cooking.
- Avoid pressing down on burgers while cooking as this releases juices and results in dry burgers.
- For cheese lovers, add cheese during the last minute of cooking and cover the grill to melt it perfectly.
- Store any leftover cooked burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
