Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove ground beef from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Using clean hands, gently mix ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing, which can make patties tough.
- Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a uniform patty about 3/4 inch thick. Create a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking.
- Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using a grill, ensure grates are clean and lightly oiled.
- Place patties on the hot cooking surface. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on the first side, allowing a nice brown crust to form.
- Flip patties carefully and cook an additional 3-4 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F for food safety.
- Remove patties from heat and let rest for 3-5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Serve on toasted buns with preferred condiments and toppings.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Always let your ground beef sit at room temperature before mixing to ensure even cooking and better texture.
- Handle with Care: Mix ingredients gently and avoid overworking the meat, which can result in tough, dense patties.
- The Center Indentation Trick: Creating a slight depression in the center of each patty prevents bulging and ensures even cooking.
- Heat Management: Use medium-high heat to achieve a beautiful brown crust while maintaining internal juiciness.
- Rest and Relax: Let your cooked patties rest for 3-5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, guaranteeing maximum flavor and tenderness.
- Thermometer is Your Friend: Always check that the internal temperature reaches 160°F for safe consumption.
- Customize Your Creation: Experiment with different toppings and condiments to make this recipe uniquely yours!
