Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef chuck
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Start by preheating your grill to high heat, approximately 450°F (232°C).
Step 2
In a large bowl, add 1 pound of ground beef chuck. Season it with 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, 0.25 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 0.25 teaspoon of onion powder.
Step 3
Add 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the seasoned meat and mix gently with your hands until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can result in a tough patty.
Step 4
Divide the meat mixture evenly into four portions, approximately 4 ounces each. Shape each portion into a patty about 3/4-inch thick, creating a small indentation in the center with your thumb to ensure even cooking.
Step 5
Brush each patty lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking to the grill grates.
Step 6
Place the patties on the preheated grill over direct heat. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving them, to create a nice sear.
Step 7
Flip the patties and continue to grill for another 4-5 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For medium, aim for an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Step 8
Once cooked to your liking, remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving, to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 9
Serve immediately on toasted buns with your favorite toppings and condiments.
