Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 buns Brioche burger buns
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 4 large leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato, sliced
- 1 small Red onion, sliced
- 4 slices Dill pickles, sliced
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 0.25 cup Mustard
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Be careful not to overwork the meat to avoid tough patties.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty approximately 3/4-inch thick. Use your thumb to make a shallow depression in the center of each patty. This will help the patties cook evenly.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Ensure it's properly preheated before placing the patties on it.
Lightly butter the insides of the brioche buns and toast them on the grill until golden brown. Set aside.
Place the patties on the hot grill. Cook on one side for about 3-4 minutes or until juices start to pool at the top of the patties.
Flip the patties and immediately place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.
Assemble the burgers by placing a leaf of romaine lettuce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with the cheeseburger patty, followed by a slice of tomato, onion rings, and pickles.
Spread ketchup and mustard on the top half of each bun, then place it over the assembled burger.
Serve the burgers immediately with your choice of sides.
