The Best Beef Burgers

Written by Sarah Park | Nov 3, 2017 11:01:33 AM

These simple burgers are packed with flavor and only have 4 ingredients!

Ingredients:

  • 1 small onion, peeled and diced
  • 1 pound of 90% lean ground beef
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 sprouted grain buns

Directions:

  1. Mix the ground beef in a medium bowl with egg and onion
  2. Dived the mixture evenly into 4 and roll each section into a ball.  Flatten each ball into a patty.  Put on a plate, cover with cling wrap, and put in the refrigerator to firm up for at least 20 minutes
  3. Heat grill to medium-high.  Brush 1 side of each burger with olive oil.  Place burgers on the grill, oil side down.  Cook for 5 minutes until the meat is lightly charred.  Oil the other side, and then turn over using tongs.  Don't press down or that will squeeze out the juices.
  4. Cook for 5 minutes for medium, 1 minutes less for rare, and 1 more minute for well done.
  5. Take burgers off of the grill and let rest on a plate so the juices can settle.  Slice each bun in half and place cut side down on the grill.  Toast for 1 minute or until lightly charred.  Place a burger on each bun and top with condiments of your choice.
