What You Need
To make 4 succulent beef patties, start with 1¼ pounds of ground chuck (85 percent lean or less). Then heat your grill to medium-high.
Step 1
Divide the meat and gently form it into 4 balls. (Don’t overwork the meat or it will become dry and tough.)
Step 2
Flatten the balls into ¾-inch-thick patties. Also flatten the top and sides of each patty to ensure that the thickness is the same throughout.
Step 3
Use your fingers to make a shallow well in the top of each patty (this will prevent overplumping). Season the patties with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Oil the grill grate using a pair of tongs and a paper towel dipped in canola oil. (Don’t spray on the oil or you’ll risk a flare-up.)6 Steps to a Delicious Beef Burger
Step 5
Cook, with the wells facing up, until the burgers release easily, 4 to 5 minutes for medium. (Don’t press or flatten.) Flip; cook 4 to 5 minutes more.6 Steps to a Delicious Beef Burger
Step 6
Check the doneness with a thermometer. (Insert it through the side so the tip is in the center.) It should register 155° F for medium.
