In this article, we’ll show you how to make the perfect patty, from selecting the right meat to seasoning and cooking it just right. So let’s get started!

Ingredients:

• 1 pound of ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
• 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon of onion powder
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
• 4 hamburger buns
• Toppings of your choice (lettuce, tomato, cheese, etc.)

Selecting the Right Meat

The first step in creating the perfect burger is selecting the right meat. We recommend using ground beef that is 80% lean and 20% fat.

This ratio will provide enough fat to keep the burger moist and flavorful, while still allowing it to cook properly. When selecting your meat, look for bright red color with marbling throughout.

Mixing the Seasonings

Once you have your meat, it’s time to add the seasonings. In a bowl, mix together the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Use your hands to mix the seasonings into the meat, being careful not to overwork it. Overworking the meat can result in tough, dry burgers.

Forming the Patty

Now it’s time to form the perfect patty. Divide the meat into 4 equal portions and form them into balls. Gently press down on the balls to form patties that are about 3/4 inch thick.

Use your thumb to make a small indentation in the center of each patty. This will help the burger cook evenly and prevent it from puffing up.

Cooking the Burger

There are a few ways to cook a burger, but we recommend grilling for the best flavor. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Avoid pressing down on the burger with your spatula, as this will release the juices and make the burger dry.

Assembling the Burger

Now it’s time to assemble the burger! Toast your buns on the grill for a few seconds. Add your toppings of choice, such as lettuce, tomato, cheese, and condiments. Place the patty on top and enjoy!
