One Of The Greatest Grilled Burger Food

THE BEST GRILLED BURGERS

Steps:

• Form the ground beef into four 8-ounce patties. A quick and easy way to do this is to divide the meat into 4 piles. Place a pile on the top of a deli container lid. Take a second deli container lid and place the top of it against the meat. Press down evenly and firmly and watch as a perfect patty forms. Repeat with the remaining meat. Make an indentation in the middle of each patty with your thumb to keep the burger from shrinking as it cooks.
• Sprinkle each patty on both sides with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Lightly brush the grill grates with oil. Grill the patties, indentation-side up, until marked on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until marked and slightly firm, about 4 more minutes for medium-rare. For cheeseburgers, top with 1 slice cheese during the last minute of cooking if desired; cover the grill to melt. Remove to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
• While the burgers cook, place the onion slices on the grill (try to keep them together in a disk). Cook until they are golden on one side, about 4 minutes, then flip with a metal spatula and sprinkle generously with salt. Cook on the other side until the onions are lightly charred and softened through, about 4 minutes, and transfer to a plate.
• Right before serving, toast the buns cut-side down on the grill. Top the bottom bun with a burger patty and layer with grilled onion, lettuce and a slice of tomato. Spread the inside of the top of each bun with some mayonnaise, mustard and ketchup. Arrange the pickle chips on top. Flip over to top the burgers and secure with a toothpick if desired.

ONE OF THE GREATEST GRILLED BURGER RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. If you have a big mixer, such as a KitchenAid, toss in the ground beef, onion, and other ingredients. (Be sure to set on a low setting to start due to the liquid ingredients. If you don't have a mixer, prepare to get your hands dirty.)
• 2. Mix all the ingredients until blended. Stir midway through with a spoon/fork to ensure that it has reached the bottom completely.
• 3. Take about 1/4lb of mixture to make patty and roll in the palm of your hand pressing gently to form the patty. The thicker the patty, the longer cooking time. (I usually press it to right around the size of my hand.) Don't forget, the patties will shrink up as they are cooked, so don't make them too small. Place each on waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Place the cookie sheet of patties in your freezer just until they are firmed up. (You don't want them frozen, only firm enough to through on the grill without them falling apart.)
• 4. Place on medium heat grill and cook until your desired doneness. Medium well is usually about 8-10 min depending on the thickness of burgers.
• 5. Remove from grill. Fix up your buns with preferred garnishes. Remember, you have lots of flavoring in the burger already, so you may not need as many condiments as you normally would. Enjoy!

GRILLED BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high and oil the grates. Place the ground beef in a medium mixing bowl. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Add a few dashes of Tabasco sauce, then with your hands, mix the meat and seasoning well.
• Form the meat into six 1-inch-thick patties and place on the grill. Cover and cook 3 minutes, then rotate, leaving them on the same side, and cook 3 more minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side.
• Meanwhile, slice the rolls in half and spread each cut side with 1/2 tablespoon butter. Grill the rolls, cut-side down, until lightly toasted. Build the burgers with assorted toppings.
• Sauteed Mushrooms
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 pound sliced mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook 2 minutes. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons broth or wine and cook 6 to 8 more minutes.
• Caramelized Onions
• Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a skillet over low heat. Add 2 large sliced red onions and 3 to 4 tablespoons brown sugar. Cook until caramelized, tossing occasionally, about 20 minutes.
• Pico de Gallo
• Finely chop 5 plum tomatoes, 1/2 large onion, 3 jalapeno peppers and 1 bunch cilantro. Toss with the juice of 1/2 lime, and salt to taste.
• Bacon
• Cook over medium-high heat until crisp.

GRILLED BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Divide the beef into four 6-ounce portions. Gather each into a ball, then gently flatten into a 4 1/2-inch-wide patty about 3/4 inch thick. Press your thumb into the center of each patty to make a 1/2-inch-deep indentation (this prevents the patties from bulging as they cook). Season the patties on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Lightly brush the grill grates with vegetable oil, then grill the patties indentation-side up until marked on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until marked and slightly firm, about 3 more minutes for medium doneness.
• Remove the burgers to a plate and let rest 5 minutes so the juices redistribute. Serve the burgers on the buns; top as desired.

BEST BURGER EVER

Steps:

• Special equipment: Chimney starter, all-natural lump charcoal and kettle grill
• Pass the meat through the coarsest die of a food grinder. Place the ground meat into a bowl and mix together to evenly distribute the different types of meat. Place in the refrigerator uncovered, for 2 hours.
• After 2 hours, fill a large chimney starter with charcoal and light. Once the coals are ashy white, transfer to a kettle grill and spread evenly. Set grate over coals.
• While the coals are heating, shape the meat into 4 patties that are 6 ounces in weight and 3/4-inch thick. Sprinkle each patty on both sides with the salt. Place on the grill and do not move for 2 minutes. Flip the burgers every 2 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 135 degrees on an instant-read thermometer. Watch for hot spots and move the burgers if flare-ups occur. Resist the urge to smash down on the patties. Remove the burgers from the heat to a plate and prepare the buns by placing them on the grill, cut side down for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and place them cut side up on a platter. Divide the cheese evenly between the top buns, set the meat patty on top of the cheese. Coat the cut side of each bottom bun with a little mayonnaise and set atop the meat. Allow each burger to sit upside down for a minute before flipping and consuming.

PERFECT GRILLED BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Form ground beef (preferably chuck) into 6-ounce patties and make an indentation in each. Season the patties on both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly brush the grill grates with vegetable oil, then grill the patties, indentation-side up, until marked on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until marked and slightly firm, about 3 more minutes for medium doneness. For cheeseburgers, top with 2 slices cheese during the last minute of cooking; cover the grill to melt.

THE BEST GRILLED HAMBURGERS

Steps:

• From the package VERY gently form into 8 burgers. Do not over press, squeeze or mix the meat in anyway. Save that for meatloaf.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Grill over high heat covered, I use charcoal,for 4 to 6 min per side depending on your preference, flipping at the halfway point. Add cheese at the flip if you wish. Serve on toasted buns with ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc. I like mine plain.

GRILLED HAMBURGERS

Steps:

• Start a charcoal fire or heat a gas grill. (Check out our grilling guide for how.) Form the patties into 3/4-inch burgers, being careful not to make them too loose or too large, then make a deep depression in the center of each burger with your thumb. Season both sides of the each burger aggressively with kosher salt and black pepper.
• Place burgers on a hot grill and cook, without moving, for about 3 minutes. Use a spatula to turn the hamburger over. If using cheese, lay slices on the meat. Continue to cook until the burgers are cooked through, about another 3 to 4 minutes for medium-rare. Remove the burgers from the grill and allow to rest for a few minutes while you toast the buns. Top the burgers as you desire.

THE PERFECT BURGER

Steps:

• Lightly oil grill& heat BBQ to medium.
• Whisk egg in a bowl& add next 6 ingredients.
• Add any of the “stir-ins” that appeal to you.
• Crumble in beef& using your hands or a fork, gently mix together.
• Handle the meat as little as possible – the more you work it, the tougher it gets.
• Gently shape (don’t firmly press) mixture into burgers about ¾ inch thick.
• Using your thumb, make a shallow depression in the centre of each burger to prevent puffing up during cooking.
• Place burgers on the grill, close lid& BBQ until NO LONGER PINK INSIDE, turning once, about 6 – 8 minutes per side.
• An instant read thermometer should read 160F.
• Don't abuse your burgers by pressing with a spatula, pricking with a fork or turning frequently as precious juices will be lost!
• Tuck into a warm crusty bun& add your favourite toppings.
