Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces burger buns
• 4 slices sliced cheese (optional)
• 1 assortment toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, minced garlic, onion powder, paprika, brown sugar, and black pepper. Stir until the marinade is well blended.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, place the ground beef. Pour the marinade over the meat and mix gently with your hands until evenly incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the burgers tough.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the marinated ground beef for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 4

Remove the marinated beef from the refrigerator and divide it into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty about ¾-inch thick, creating a slight indent in the center to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Step 5

Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, flipping once, until they reach your desired level of doneness (160°F for well-done). Add sliced cheese on top during the last minute of cooking, if desired.

Step 7

Remove the patties from the heat and let them rest for 2-3 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 8

While the patties are resting, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet, if desired.

Step 9

Assemble the burgers by placing the patty on the bottom bun and adding your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, or pickles. Finish with the top bun.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious marinated burgers!
