Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Indoor Grill Pan
Ingredients
- 4 Lightly toasted and buttered burger buns
- 1 lb Ground chunk
- 4 Slices cheese
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Set your oven to broil (high) and position the oven rack in the upper-middle slot.
- Line a cast iron grill pan or baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Divide 1 pound of ground chuck into four 4-ounce portions.
- Carefully shape each portion into loose balls, avoiding overworking the meat.
- Flatten each ball on a flat surface to form a disc about ½-¾ inch thick.
- Create a slight indentation around the edge of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
- Place the patties on the prepared pan.
- Season both sides of the patties generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Broil the patties for 4 minutes, or until the tops are browned and starting to char.
- Flip the patties and continue broiling for another 3-4 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 155°F.
- If desired, place a slice of your favorite cheese on each patty and broil until the cheese is melted.
- Move the patties to a cooling rack and tent them with foil, letting the internal temperature rise to 160°F.
- Serve the burgers on toasted buns with your preferred condiments.
