DESCRIPTION
What exactly is a steak burger? It just might be the best burger you ever try—beefier, more flavorful, better! Here’s how to make the best steak burger there is. Note: If you’re going to grill the burgers, try adding 2 tablespoons of shredded cold better (use the large holes on a cheese grater) to the meat before adding the seasonings so that it gets mixed right in there.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 and 1/2 lb. ground sirloin, ideally freshly ground
- 3/4 tsp. onion powder
- 3/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 4 hamburger buns, toasted
- Your favorite burger toppings
Instructions
- In a large bowl, gently combine meat, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Handle the mixture as gently and sparingly as possible (over-mixing can make the burger tough).
- Divide mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each into a ball, then flatten the balls into discs, about 4 inches in diameter. Make them thinner in the center.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and swirl the pan to coat the bottom.
- Cook the patties to your desired doneness. Because sirloin is so lean, I like to cook it to medium-rare doneness (internal temperature of 140°F), about 3 minutes per side.
- Serve the patties on toasted buns with your favorite burger toppings.
