Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 pounds ground chuck (80 percent lean) or ground turkey (90 percent lean)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
4 slices cheese (optional)
4 hamburger buns, split; toasted, if desired

Steps:

  • Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Form each portion loosely into a 3/4-inch-thick burger and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb. Season both sides of each burger with salt and pepper.
  • IF USING A GRILL: Heat a gas grill to high or heat coals in a charcoal grill until they glow bright orange and ash over. Brush the burgers with the oil. Grill the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes for beef and 5 minutes for turkey. Flip over the burgers. Cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare (3 minutes if topping with cheese; see step 3) or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Cook turkey burgers until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes on the second side.
  • IF USING A GRILL PAN: Heat a grill pan over high heat on top of the stove. Cook the burgers as for a grill, above.
  • IF USING A SAUTE PAN OR GRIDDLE (PREFERABLY CAST IRON): Heat the oil in the pan or griddle over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Cook the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes for beef and 5 minutes for turkey. Flip over the burgers. Cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare (3 minutes if topping with cheese) or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Cook turkey burgers until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes on the second side.
  • Add the cheese, if using, to the tops of the burgers during the last minute of cooking and top with a basting cover, close the grill cover, or tent the burgers with aluminum foil to melt the cheese.
  • Sandwich the hot burgers between the buns and serve immediately.

THE PERFECT SUMMER HAMBURGER RECIPE



The Perfect Summer Hamburger Recipe image

I had been using variations of hamburger recipes i found on here with no success until one day i made my hamburger meat in the same bowl as my olive oil and herb oven fries. The result was a hamburger so moist and delicious i have been using this recipe ever since. The simple ingredients bring out the flavor in the meat without overpowering it. The recipe uses fresh herbs which can always be substituted for dry if needed.

PERFECT HAMBURGER

This hamburger seasoning makes the tastiest, juiciest burgers ever! We used 91% lean because the little bit of extra fat kept these patties moist and delicious. Also, the dry seasoning mixture will make more than you need but that leaves more for next time!

Categories     Meat

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 lb ground beef
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • In an airtight container or plastic bag, mix together salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, ground mustard, smoked paprika, and thyme.
  • Shake until well mixed.
  • In a bowl, combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce and approximately 2 tablespoons of the seasoning mixture.
  • Make into patties and grill or pan fry.
  • Enjoy with your favorite toppings!

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ground beef. The better the beef, the better the burger. Look for ground chuck or sirloin that is at least 80% lean.
  • Season the beef simply. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all you need to create a delicious burger. Don't overdo it with the seasonings, or you'll mask the flavor of the beef.
  • Form the burgers gently. Don't pack the beef too tightly, or the burgers will be tough. Just gently shape the beef into patties that are about 3/4-inch thick.
  • Cook the burgers over medium-high heat. This will help create a nice crust on the outside of the burger while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Don't overcook the burgers. A medium-rare burger is the most flavorful and juicy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Top the burgers with your favorite toppings. Cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and onion are all classic burger toppings. But feel free to get creative and experiment with different toppings.

Conclusion:

There's nothing quite like a perfectly cooked summer burger. With a little planning and effort, you can create a burger that is juicy, flavorful, and sure to please everyone at your next cookout. So fire up the grill and get ready to enjoy the best burger of your life!
