Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1 tsp salt, 0.5 tsp black pepper, and 0.5 tsp garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Press a slight indent in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.

  3. 3

    Brush both sides of the patties with 1 tbsp olive oil. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

  4. 4

    Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium, or until they reach your desired doneness. The patties should have nice grill marks and feel firm to the touch when done.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes before serving. Serve on buns with your favorite toppings.
