• Melt butter and sauté garlic. Spread garlic butter on both top and bottom of buns.
• Place burgers on hot grill. Rotate 90 degrees after 3-4 minutes. Turn over after 3-4 more and repeat. This will give you a great diamond grill marks. Remove from heat and let rest for 10 min while toasting the buns.
• Place the buttered buns on grill and lightly toast. Watch them closely or they will burn.
