Ingredients
- 500g ground beef (80/20 fat ratio for best juiciness)
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- Burger buns
- Lettuce leaves
- Tomato slices
- Onion rings
- Cheese slices (optional)
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a bowl, gently mix ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Divide into equal portions and shape into patties. Do not overwork the meat.
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease it.
- Place patties on the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes per side for medium doneness.
- If using cheese, add it during the last minute and cover to melt.
- Toast the burger buns lightly with butter.
- Assemble burgers with lettuce, tomato, onion, patty, and your favorite sauces.

Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality beef for best flavor and safety.
- Medium burgers should reach an internal temperature of about 63°C (145°F).
- Avoid pressing patties while cooking—it removes juices.
- Let burgers rest for 1–2 minutes before serving.
- If you prefer well-done, cook 1–2 minutes longer per side.
