Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Cold water
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and breadcrumbs.
Add the cold water to the mixture and gently mix everything with your hands until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the patties tough.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick. Make a small indent in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the pan is hot, place the patties in the pan, allowing enough space between them to cook evenly. Avoid pressing down on the patties to retain their juices.
Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without disturbing them, then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the patties reach your desired level of doneness. For medium, the internal temperature should read 160°F (71°C).
Remove the patties from the pan and let them rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the smokey juicy burger patties on your choice of buns with your favorite toppings and sauces. Enjoy!
