Sure! Here’s a simple and delicious burger recipe along with instructions on how to cook it on the stovetop.
Best Burger Recipe
Ingredients:
– 1 pound ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio works well)
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
– 1 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
– Burger buns
– Toppings of your choice (lettuce, tomato, cheese, pickles, onions, condiments)Instructions:
- Prepare the Patties:
- In a bowl, gently mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings you want (like garlic and onion powder).
-
Form the mixture into burger patties, making them about 3/4 inch thick. Use your thumb to make a slight indentation in the center of each patty; this helps them cook evenly and prevents puffing up.
-
Cooking the Burgers on the Stovetop:
- Heat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Allow it to get hot.
- Once hot, add a little oil to the pan (just enough to coat the bottom).
- Place the patties in the pan. Don’t overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side without pressing down on the patties.
- Flip them over and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, add a slice of cheese at this stage if you want it melted.
-
Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer (160°F for medium, 165°F for well-done).
-
Assemble Your Burger:
- Toast your burger buns in the same pan for added flavor.
- Place the cooked patty on the bottom bun and add your desired toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles, etc.).
- Spread condiments on the top bun and place it on top to finish.
Tips:
- If you like your burgers well-done, consider cooking them a little longer.
- Let the burgers rest for a couple of minutes after cooking to keep them juicy.
- You can experiment with different seasonings or toppings based on your taste preferences!
Enjoy your delicious homemade burger!
