These Juicy Grilled Beef Burgers are a delightful twist on the classic burger, offering enhanced flavor and texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, bread crumbs, onion, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the patties tough.
Add the ground beef to the mixture and gently mix until just combined.
Handle the mixture lightly to keep the patties tender.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing up during cooking.
Preheat the grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates.
Ensure the grill is clean to prevent sticking.
Place the patties on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Avoid pressing down on the patties to retain their juices.
Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, if desired.
Watch closely to prevent burning.
Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a bun and adding your favorite toppings.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
