Perfectly Seasoned Homemade Beef Burgers

Step 1

If I'm making 8 burgers, I'll double the recipe and use 1 lb lean ground beef (maximum fat content 17%) and 1 lb medium ground beef (maximum content 23%). This will make for a perfectly juicy burger.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and spices together until combined. Toss the ground beef into the bowl and mix together with clean hands.

Step 3

Use a ½ cup measuring cup to scoop out enough meat for a ¼ lb burger. Form into a patty and press an indent in the centre of each burger to prevent them from puffing up in the centre and becoming round while they cook.

Step 4

Place the burgers on a hot grill in direct heat. Cook for 5-6 minutes until you start to see the juices rising to the top.

Step 5

Flip the burgers and cook on the other side. I like to use a meat thermometer to make sure that it has reached an internal temperature of 160 degrees.

Step 6

If you're making a cheeseburger, put the cheese on top of the burgers and close the lid to let the cheese melt. Remove the burgers from the grill and let them sit for 5 minutes
