Ingredients
2
lb ground beef chuck
4
teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2
teaspoons kosher (coarse or sea) salt
2
teaspoons cracked black pepper
4
hamburger buns, split
4
lettuce leaves
4
large tomato slices
4
red onion slices
Mustard and mayonnaise, if desired
Preparation
Heat gas or charcoal grill. Place meat in large bowl; pour Worcestershire sauce over beef and gently mix with hands. Divide meat into 4 very loose balls, then gently shape into patties 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick and about 1/2 inch in diameter larger than your hamburger buns. Slightly press center of each patty.
Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper on 1 side of each patty. Place patties, seasoned side down, on grill over medium heat. Sprinkle top of each patty with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cover grill; cook 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, until meat thermometer inserted in center of patties reads 160°F.
Serve burgers on buns with lettuce, tomato, onion, mayonnaise and mustard.
