the Delicious hamburger recipe
Making a hamburger recipe at home is simple and customizable. Here's a basic recipe for a classic beef hamburger:
Ingredients:
Ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat) – 1 lb (450g)
Salt and pepper - to taste
Hamburger buns – 4
Cheese slices (optional) – 4 (cheddar, American, etc.)
Toppings (optional):
Lettuce
tomato slices
Onions (raw or caramelized)
Pickles
Ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc.
Instructions:
1.Prepare the patties:
- Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions (about 4 oz or 113g each).
- Gently shape each portion into a patty that's slightly larger than the bun, as the meat will shrink when cooking.
- Season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper.
2.Cook the patties:
- Grilling: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, flipping only once. For well-done burgers, cook a bit longer.
Pan-frying: Heat a little oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side.
Optionally, during the last minute of cooking, add a slice of cheese on top of each patty and cover the grill or skillet to melt the cheese.
3. Prepare the buns:
- While the patties are cooking, toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill or in the skillet until golden brown.
4. Assemble the burgers:
- Place the cooked patty on the bottom half of the bun.
- Add your preferred toppings like lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and sauces (ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc.).
- Place the top half of the bun on top.
5.Serve:
- Serve immediately with your choice of sides like fries, chips, or a salad.
Tips:
- For juicier burgers, avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking.
- You can experiment with different meats (like turkey or chicken) or seasoning blends.
