Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces frozen hamburger patties
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and water. Whisk together until the marinade is well blended.
Place the frozen hamburger patties in a single layer in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag.
Pour the marinade evenly over the frozen patties, ensuring each patty is coated. If using a plastic bag, seal it and gently massage the marinade into the patties.
Allow the patties to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, flipping them halfway through to ensure even absorption of the marinade. For best results, marinate for up to 4 hours.
Preheat your grill, stovetop griddle, or skillet to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking surface to prevent sticking.
Remove the marinated patties from the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes while the grill heats up.
Cook the patties for approximately 5–6 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for safe consumption. Avoid pressing down on the patties during cooking to retain their juices.
Remove the cooked patties from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the burgers on buns with your choice of toppings such as lettuce, tomato, cheese, pickles, and condiments.
