Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp ice-cold water (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Divide into 4 equal portions and shape each into a ¾-inch thick patty. Press a small indentation in the center with your thumb.
- Chill patties in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes.
- Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook patties 4–5 minutes per side, flipping once, until desired doneness is reached.
- Let rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the beef—keep handling to a minimum.
- Pressing an indentation in the center prevents puffing during cooking.
- Letting the patties rest after cooking helps them stay juicy.
