Ingredients
  

For the Burger Patties

  • 500g ground beef (80/20 fat ratio preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cold butter, grated (optional for extra juiciness)

For Serving

  • 4 burger buns
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Tomato slices
  • Onion rings
  • Pickle slices
  • Cheese slices
  • Mustard
  • Mayonnaise

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, gently combine ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and grated butter if using.
  • Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into thick burger patties slightly larger than the buns.
  • Press a small indentation into the center of each patty to help maintain shape during cooking.
  • Preheat a grill, skillet, or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.
  • Cook patties for about 4–5 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Avoid pressing the patties while cooking.
  • Place cheese slices on burgers during the final minute of cooking. Toast buns lightly until golden.
  • Layer buns with lettuce, juicy burger patties, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and sauces. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Use beef with at least 20% fat for maximum juiciness.
  • Cold butter adds extra moisture and flavour.
  • Avoid overmixing the beef mixture.
  • Rest burgers for 2 minutes before serving.
  • Cast-iron pans create a delicious crust.
  • Fresh toppings balance the rich beef flavour.
  • Brioche buns make burgers even more indulgent.
  • Cheese adds creamy richness and texture.
