Recipe Tips

- Use a meat thermometer. Use an instant-read meat thermometer to make sure that the beef is cooked to a safe temperature before eating.
- Direct heat. Place the burgers on direct heat when cooking.
- Don’t press the patties down while grilling. This will allow the juices to escape, and it will not be as juicy. So resist the urge to press the patties with your spatula while cooking.
- Allow the burgers to rest. Once you remove them from the grill, allow the patties to rest for 5 minutes.
