How To Grill Perfect Hamburgers
A step by step guide to getting perfect hamburgers everytime.
Materials
- 1 pound 80/20 Ground Chuck or Ground Beef
- Salt to taste
- Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat grill to around 375° F.
- Take one pound of ground chuck and equally divide it into 4 parts.
- Loosely form the quarter pound (4-ounce) sized patties by hand. Don't overwork the meat when forming the patties to prevent dry and tough hamburgers.
- Season both sides of the hamburger patties with salt and pepper.
- Place patties on indirect heat in the center of the grill.
- Allow patties to cook for 25 minutes or until they have reached an internal temperature of 160°F throughout.
Notes
Hamburger Patties: Your patties should be about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch thick.
Patty Size: I generally use a quarter pound (4 ounces) of meat to make patties. However, you can make them as big or small as you would like adjusting the cook time accordingly.
Don't Overwork The Patties: Overworking the meat when forming patties can lead to dry and tough hamburgers.
