Be the first to rate it
One juicy skillet burger made with 6 ounces of ground beef, seared and rested before it goes on the bun.
Ingredients
- 6 ounces ground beef (80/20 preferred)
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- ½ tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
- 1 hamburger bun
- Optional toppings: tomato, onion, lettuce, pickles, ketchup, mustard, bacon or BBQ sauce; cheese if desired
Equipment
- skillet
Directions
- Gently shape the beef into a patty about 1 inch thick and a little wider than the bun. Press a shallow dent into the center so it stays flat as it cooks. Season both sides with the salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger for about 3 minutes, then flip it and cook 2 to 5 minutes more, until it reaches 160°F.
- Move it to a plate, add cheese if you like, cover it loosely, and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Put it on the bun with your favorite toppings.
