Ingredients Needed
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ cup fine dry bread crumbs
How To Make Hamburger Recipe
- Preheat the grill: Heat an outdoor grill to high and lightly oil the grate.
- Mix the ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, salt, and black pepper. Add the ground beef and bread crumbs, mixing gently with your hands or a fork until just combined.
- Form the patties: Shape the mixture into four ¾-inch-thick patties, pressing a small dent in the center of each to prevent puffing.
- Grill the burgers: Place patties on the preheated grill, cover, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
- Serve and enjoy: Remove from the grill and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving with your favorite toppings and buns.
Recipe Tips
- Chill the patties before cooking: Refrigerate the formed patties for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during cooking.
- Dredge in flour for a crispy crust: Lightly coat the patties in flour just before sautéing to achieve a delightful crispy exterior.
- Use a mix of butter and oil: Combining butter with a neutral oil like vegetable oil prevents the butter from burning and adds flavor.
- Deglaze the pan for a flavorful sauce: After cooking the patties, deglaze the pan with beef stock or wine to create a rich sauce from the browned bits.
- Rest the patties before serving: Allow the cooked patties to rest for a few minutes to retain their juices and ensure tenderness.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers
- Refrigerate: Place leftover hamburger in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Wrap leftover hamburger individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 2 months. To thaw, transfer the patties to the refrigerator overnight then reheat gently.
- Reheating; Warm leftover hamburger in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, flipping halfway. Avoid overcooking to keep them juicy.
