Savory Beef Burgers Food

PERFECT BEEF BURGERS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the ground beef evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Gently form the meat into 4 balls, then lightly press into 4-inch-wide, 1-inch-thick patties. Make a 2-inch-wide indentation in the center of each with your thumb to prevent the burgers from bulging when grilled.
• Preheat a grill to high. Season the patties with salt and pepper. Grill, undisturbed, until marked on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn and grill until the other side is marked and the patties feel firm, 3 to 5 more minutes; if desired, top each burger with 2 slices cheese during the last 2 minutes of cooking and cover with a disposable aluminum pan to melt.
• Serve the patties on the buns; top with lettuce and tomato.

SAVORY SKILLET BURGERS

Steps:

• Lightly oil a large skillet and put over low heat.
• Mix ground beef, egg whites, sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese, sea salt, steak seasoning, and parsley in a large bowl. Shape into 5 hamburger patties.
• Put patties in the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Flip and cook another 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium or medium-high, cover, and continue to cook, flipping occasionally, until burgers are cooked through and juicy, 5 to 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Top with liquid hickory smoke seasoning.
