Categories     Basil     Beef     Grill/Barbecue

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound ground beef
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
4 hamburger buns, split

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
  • Mix together the ground beef, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and basil. Divide into four balls, and flatten into patties.
  • Cook the patties for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or to desired doneness. The internal temperature should be at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
  • Remove from grill and place onto hamburger buns. Top with desired toppings and condiments.
  • Note: Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality beef: The better the beef, the better the burger. Look for ground chuck or sirloin that is at least 80% lean.
  • Don't overmix the beef: Overmixing the beef will make the burgers tough. Mix the beef just until it is combined.
  • Season the beef simply: Salt and pepper are all you need to season the beef. Don't add any other spices or herbs, as they will overpower the flavor of the beef.
  • Form the burgers gently: Don't press the beef too hard when forming the burgers. This will make the burgers tough.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat: Cooking the burgers over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning them.
  • Don't flip the burgers too often: Flipping the burgers too often will make them dry. Flip the burgers only once, when the first side is cooked through.
  • Let the burgers rest before serving: Letting the burgers rest before serving will help them retain their juices.

Conclusion:

Making a great burger is all about using high-quality ingredients and cooking them properly. By following these tips, you can make a burger that is juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
