Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 4 ounces cheddar cheese (slices or shredded)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 pieces brioche buns
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 leaves lettuce (optional)
- 4 pieces tomato slices (optional)
- 8 slices pickle slices (optional)
- 2 tablespoons ketchup (optional)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently with your hands until evenly combined, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the seasoned ground beef into 8 equal portions and flatten each portion into thin patties about 4 inches in diameter.
Place about 1 ounce of cheddar cheese (either a slice or shredded) in the center of 4 patties. Leave about 1/2 inch of space around the edges.
Place the remaining 4 patties on top of the cheese-covered patties. Carefully seal the edges by pinching them together to ensure there are no gaps for the cheese to escape during cooking.
Preheat a large skillet or grill over medium-high heat. If desired, lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Avoid pressing down on the patties to keep the cheese intact.
While the burgers cook, toast the brioche buns. Spread butter on the cut sides of the buns and toast them in a skillet or on the grill until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Assemble the burgers: Place the cooked patties on the bottom halves of the buns. Add lettuce, tomato slices, pickle slices, ketchup, and mayonnaise as desired. Cover with the top halves of the buns.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Steak House Juicy Lucy!
