Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare

   • Place the ground beef in a large bowl.
   • Season with salt and pepper; optionally fold in finely chopped herbs or spices briefly.
   • Gently form the meat by hand into 4 evenly sized patties (from 500 g expect about 4 patties; 5–6 if made thinner). Do not overwork the meat.
2. 2

   Fry or Grill

   • Heat a pan with 1 tbsp oil or preheat the grill.
   • Cook patties about 4–5 minutes per side for thinner patties, or until desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for at least 71 °C (160 °F) internal temperature for fully cooked beef.
   • Optionally place a slice of cheese on each patty after flipping to melt shortly.
3. 3

   Rest and Serve

   • Let patties rest 3–5 minutes after cooking so juices redistribute.
   • Place each patty on a bun and add lettuce, tomato slices, onions, sprouts and condiments like ketchup, mayonnaise or mustard if desired.
   • Serve immediately.
