Tips for Stovetop Burgers

The main trick behind a delicious burger is to make your patties delicious.

Then there is also the part of salad and other fillings. If you can follow the process correctly, you will be able to have the world’s most delicious burger in no-times right at your home.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of 80% lean beef – minced or ground.
  • Salt.
  • 1 beaten Egg.
  • Pepper.
  • Mustard paste.
  • Lettuce.
  • Tomato.
  • Cucumber.
  • Mayonnaise.
  • Cheddar Cheese.
  • Sliced black olives.
  • Sweet chili sauce.
  • Toasted burger buns.

Instructions

  • Get your meat in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, mustard paste, beaten egg. Mix thoroughly and slowly.
  • Divide the meat into as many portions as you need. But keep it to 4-5 portions.
  • Create patties from the portions. Shape the patties with your hand. The patties should not be too thin and flat. The thickness should be at least an inch.
  • Preheat a cast-ironskillet on the stove at high heat. When the skillet is hot enough turn heat to medium and place the patties on the skillet. Do not populate the skillet too much. Place as many patties as you can leaving enough space to easily turn them over during the cooking process.
  • Let the patties sear nicely and become brown in color on both sides. It is important to fry them at 160 degrees Fahrenheit to kill the bacteria properly.
  • To add cheese, turn off the stove. Place cheese on top of the patties and then cover the skillet with a lid. The radiant heat will let the cheese melt.
  • Serve with buns with patties on top with salad and other condiments.

Frozen Burger in a Skillet

Although fresh is always the best, we cannot make burger patties from freshly garnered ingredients all the time. Our everyday life is full of hustle and bustle. That is why having a freshly cooked meal is almost impossible or difficult. So, what do we do then? We buy frozen patties for our quick-cook burgers. Besides, regularly going to the market is not possible if we are not restaurant owners ourselves. In that case, we definitely have to visit the market. Using frozen patties helps you save valuable time. The time to set up the oven and preheat it can be cut short by using a grilling skillet. In brief, heat the skillet, put some oil, place the patties, cook and turn side and then cook again, and after cooking is done place it on the bun and garnish and season it and serve, that’s it!
