Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cheddar cheese slices
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for sautéing and brushing buns)
  • 4 burger buns
  • 4 leaves fresh lettuce
  • 4 tomato slices
  • Mayonnaise or garlic aioli, as needed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef Mixture: In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef with finely minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Be careful not to overmix to keep the patties tender and juicy.
  2. Shape the Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form thick patties, slightly larger than your buns as they will shrink during cooking.
  3. Preheat the Grill or Pan: Heat your grill or cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat. Brush the surface lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook the Burgers: Place the patties on the grill or pan, cooking for about 4 minutes per side for medium doneness. Add cheddar cheese slices on top during the last minute of cooking to melt.
  5. Toast the Buns: Lightly brush burger buns with olive oil and toast them on the grill or skillet until golden brown and slightly crispy.
  6. Assemble the Burgers: Spread mayonnaise or garlic aioli on the buns. Add the cooked patties with melted cheddar cheese, then layer fresh lettuce and tomato slices. Top with the bun and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the beef mixture to maintain a tender, juicy texture.
  • Use fresh minced garlic for the best flavor; avoid garlic powder.
  • Add cheese during the last minute of cooking for perfect melting.
  • Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer; 160°F ensures safety and juiciness.
  • Toast buns just before assembling to keep them crisp and warm.
