Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Ground beef (80% lean)
- 0.25 cups Red Burgundy wine
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 whole Hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices (optional)
- 4 whole Lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Tomato slices
- 4 slices Pickles (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, Burgundy wine, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Gently mix the ingredients with your hands, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 3/4 inch thick. Press a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up on the grill.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the burger patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (160°F internal temperature for medium). If adding cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of grilling and let it melt.
While the burgers are grilling, spread butter on the insides of the hamburger buns and toast them on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden and slightly crispy.
Assemble the burgers by placing a grilled patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and pickles (if using). Cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides like fries, coleslaw, or potato salad.
