I love burger, its that simple, I have been craving it for a while but i don't want to buy from any eat out spot because most times am disappointed, it's high time i put on my chef cap and make some myself, making burgers is something I've done before so using this recipe i got would be easy ( i think lol ) anyways this recipe am about to share is a delicious grilled burger recipe and if you can't construct the meat yourself just get to your nearby store or supermarket, they have it package and ready to go.
Burgers have different flavoring and this recipe has shown how we can add flavor to the meat without over handling it. remember not squished and don't flatten the meat with your spatula.
What you would need:
2 pounds 80/20 ground beef
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Freshly ground pepper
6 thin slices of cheese, such as cheddar, Swiss, or American (optional)
6 hamburger buns
extra toppings, tomato, lettuce, crisp bacon, avocado, sauteed mushrooms, mayonnaise, ketchup
You will need a gas or charcoal grill.
Preparation:
1. Heat the Grill: Warm your grill to high heat, about 450°F or until you can hold your hand an inch over the grate for only one second. If cooking on a charcoal grill, arrange coals to create a high heat and a low heat cooking zone.
2. Prepare the Ground Beef: While the grill is warming, prepare the burgers. Gently pat the ground beef into a log roughly 2 feet long on a clean baking sheet. Use your thumb to make a deep trough in the center. Sprinkle the onions evenly down the trough. Whisk together the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and garlic powder, and sprinkle this over the onions. Finish with a few grinds of fresh black pepper over everything.
3. Shape the Burgers: Pinch ground beef closed around the onions. Divide the meat into 8 portions using a chef knife, a bench scraper, or your fingers. Use your hands to gently flatten each portion into a burger patty about 1-inch thick. Try not to compact or overwork the meat. Let the burgers rest at room temperature until the grill is warm, about 20 minutes.
Do Ahead: Burgers can be prepped ahead of time and refrigerated until grilling. If you do this, let the burgers sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling to take the chill off.
4. Grill the Burgers: Grill the burgers for 2 minutes on each side, then move them to a lower-heat area of the grill. Cook another 2-3 minutes for medium-rare burgers, 3-4 minutes for medium, or 5-6 minutes for well-done burgers. In the last minute of cooking, lay a slice of cheese on top of each burger and arrange the buns over high heat to toast.
5. Assemble the Burgers: As soon as the burgers are done, place them on a toasted bun, pile on the toppings, and serve.
All this sounds like fun, i can't wait.
