There’s something incredibly satisfying about biting into a homemade burger patty that’s juicy on the inside and has a perfect crust on the outside. This recipe is all about creating that mouthwatering experience with a blend of simple, yet flavorful ingredients. Whether you like your patties thick and hearty or thin and crispy, this recipe has got you covered.
One of the best tips I’ve picked up over the years is to
dent the surface of the burger patty before cooking. This simple trick helps
prevent the patty from puffing up in the middle, ensuring it cooks evenly and
stays flat. Just press a small indentation in the center of each patty with
your thumb or the back of a spoon. It’s a game-changer for achieving that
perfect burger shape!
Resting the patties for 30-40 minutes before cooking allows
the flavors to meld together and helps the patties hold their shape better on
the grill. This resting period also ensures that the patties cook more evenly,
resulting in a juicier and more flavorful burger.
Not only are these burgers delicious, but they also come
with a few health benefits. Using lean minced beef ensures you get a good dose
of protein without too much fat. Plus, the addition of garlic and onion powder
adds a boost of antioxidants. And let’s not forget the fresh lettuce and
tomatoes, which provide essential vitamins and minerals.
Recipe: Homemade Burger
Serving Size: Makes 6 thick or 12 thin patties.
Ingredients:
- 1 kg
minced (ground) beef (2.2 lbs)
- 1
large egg
- 2
tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1
teaspoon salt
- 1
teaspoon garlic powder
- 1
teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2
teaspoon black pepper
- 1
onion, sliced into rings
- Burger
buns
- Lettuce
leaves
- Tomato
slices
- 2
slices of cheese per burger
- Pickled
cucumber
- Sauce:
Mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the minced beef, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until just combined; do not overmix to avoid dense patties.
- Divide the mixture into 6 equal parts for thick patties or 12 for thin ones. Shape each portion into a patty slightly larger than the buns. Press a dent in the center of each patty.
- Place patties on a baking paper-lined tray and let them rest in the fridge for 30-40 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium heat.
- Cook the onion rings in a pan over medium heat until caramelized. Set aside.
- Grill the patties: 3-4 minutes per side for thick patties and, 2 minutes per side for thin patties, ensuring they are cooked through. In the last minute of cooking, place two slices of cheese on top of each patty, allowing it to melt nicely.
- Assemble the burgers: While the patties are cooking, pre-assemble the bottom buns with lettuce, tomato, and pickled cucumber. This is a time-saver, but if you prefer, you can add each topping one by one when assembling the burger. Once the patties are ready, place the cheese-topped meat patty on the bottom bun and move the prepped vegetables on top of the meat. Spread mayonnaise, mustard, and ketchup on the top bun and close the burger.
Tips for Making This Dish
- Substitutes: For a healthier option, you can use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef. If you’re vegetarian, try using a plant-based meat substitute.
- Cheese:
Swap out regular cheese for vegan cheese if needed.
- Add-Ons:
Experiment with toppings like avocado, sautéed mushrooms, or different
types of cheese for variety.
- Extra
Flavor: Add a splash of soy sauce or a teaspoon of smoked paprika
for an extra kick of flavor.
- Freezing Leftovers: You can freeze leftover burger patties by placing baking paper between each patty to prevent them from sticking together. This makes it easy to grab just one or two patties at a time for a quick meal.
