Best Hamburger Marinade

Step 1

Combine all ingredients except ground beef in a medium bowl. Mix together.

Step 2

Add ground beef and use your hands to gently blend marinade into meat.

Step 3

Be careful not to handle too much or meat will become tough.

Step 4

Form ground beef into four equal sized (1/4 pound) round patties. Flatten patties so they’re bigger than the buns.

Step 5

Make an indentation in the center of each burger. (This will help burgers not to bulge in the center.)

Step 6

Cover patties and let marinade in refrigerator for at least one hour.

Step 7

Grill over high heat to quickly sear outside of burger and seal in juices. Cook 3-4 minutes per side.
