  1. Form the ground beef into 4 (6-ounce) burger patties about 4 1/2 inches in diameter and 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Press your thumb into the center of each burger patty to form a small indent.

  2. Brush the grill grates clean and wipe them down with a lightly oiled paper towel.

  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (400-425°F).

Chef's Notes

Note 1. Ground Meat. Choose a burger that is at least 20% fat for a tender, juicy burger. Lean hamburger is prone to drying out. We like to use ground chuck, but any type of ground beef will work.
Note 2. Grill Temps and Times.

Rare (130-135°F): 5-6 minutes total (roughly 2-3 minutes per side)
Medium Rare (130-135°F): 6–7 minutes total (roughly 3 minutes per side)
Medium (140-145°F): 7–8 minutes total (roughly 3-4 minutes per side)
Medium-well (145-150°F): 8-9 minutes total (roughly 4-5 minutes per side)
Well-done (160°F and above): 9-10 minutes total (roughly 5 minutes per side)

*The USDA recommends all ground beef be cooked to 160°F.
**Nutrition information is for the beef patty only. It does not include the bun or any toppings.
