This juicy burger recipe creates tender, flavorful beef patties with garlic, pepper, and butter-seared edges for a satisfying homemade meal.

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces 80/20 ground beef
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper (fresh cracked)
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, add ground beef, egg yolk, olive oil, minced garlic, and fresh cracked pepper. Gently combine without pressing or squishing the mixture. Divide the meat into four portions and gently form four burger patties, creating a thumbprint in the center. Transfer patties to a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  2. On the stovetop, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and swirl or brush to cover the surface. Alternatively, preheat a grill to medium-high heat; no butter is required.
  3. Add burger patties to the skillet or grill and sear covered for 3-4 minutes. Do not press the patties. Flip and cook the opposite side for approximately 2-3 minutes for medium rare. Cook an additional minute or so for medium, for a total cooking time of 6-8 minutes. Optionally add cheese during the last 30 seconds of cooking to melt.

Notes

  • Avoid overmixing the ground beef to keep the burgers tender and juicy.
  • Do not press the patties while cooking, as this releases flavorful juices.
  • Serve with your favorite burger buns, toppings, and sauces.
