Beef Patty Burger Recipe

Ingredients :

For the Beef Patty:

• 500gram ground beef (80/20 fat ratio for juiciness)
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
• ½ tsp onion powder (optional)
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (for extra flavor)
• 1 tbsp oil or butter (for cooking)

For the Burger Assembly:

• 4 burger buns
• 4 cheese slices (cheddar or your choice)
• Lettuce leaves
• Tomato slices
• Onion slices
• Mayonnaise, ketchup, or mustard mixed (as per preference)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Beef Patty:

1. In a bowl, mix ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
2. Gently shape into 4 equal-sized patties, about ¾ inch thick. Avoid pressing too hard to keep them juicy.
3. Make a slight dent in the center of each patty with your thumb (this helps prevent puffing up while cooking).

2. Cook the Patties:

1. Heat a pan or grill over medium-high heat and brush with oil or butter with chopped garlic.
2. Cook patties for 3-4 minutes per side (or until desired doneness). For medium, cook to 160°F (70°C).
3. Add a cheese slice on top of each patty in the last minute of cooking, letting it melt.

3. Toast the Buns:

1. Lightly butter the burger buns and toast them on the pan/grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

4. Assemble the Burger:

1. Spread mayo, ketchup, or mustard on the bottom bun.
2. Place lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles.
3. Add the cheesy beef patty.
4. Cover with the top bun.
