AIR FRYER HAMBURGER PATTIES



Air Fryer Hamburger Patties image

When it's too cold to grill and you're craving a juicy burger, use your air fryer! The butter and bouillon mixture gives the patties a dark grilled color and deep beefy flavor. Add your favorite seasonings, if desired, but these are delicious as is! If you'd like to add cheese, turn off the air fryer once the patties are done and let the residual heat melt the cheese. Make sure you use cold meat, straight from the fridge, for best results.

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound 80% lean ground beef
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon beef base (such as Better than Bouillon®)
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (195 degrees C).
  • Form beef into 4 patties, approximately 3/4 inches thick and 4 1/2 inches in diameter. Make the patties slightly bigger than the buns to allow for shrinkage.
  • Whisk together warm melted butter and beef soup base in a small bowl. Brush lightly onto both sides of patties and season with pepper. Set patties into the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.
  • Air-fry patties for 7 minutes, flipping halfway through, for medium doneness. For well done, air-fry for an additional 2 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef: For juicy burgers, use a blend of 80% lean and 20% fat ground beef.
  • Season the beef well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Shape the burgers gently: Overworking the beef will make the burgers tough.
  • Make a dimple in the center of each patty: This will help prevent the burgers from puffing up in the air fryer.
  • Preheat the air fryer: This will help the burgers cook evenly.
  • Cook the burgers in a single layer: Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket.
  • Flip the burgers halfway through cooking: This will ensure that they cook evenly on both sides.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the burgers: The burgers are done when they reach an internal temperature of 160°F for medium-rare, 165°F for medium, or 170°F for well-done.
  • Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the burgers.

Conclusion:

Air fryer hamburgers are a quick, easy, and delicious way to enjoy a classic American meal. By following these tips, you can make perfectly cooked burgers that are juicy, flavorful, and sure to please everyone at the table.
