Prep your Patties

1

Divide meat into 6 or 8 portions. Generally, a 1/3lb patty is a full, hearty burger. A 1/4lb or less is good for kids, or if you’re serving other meats as well. And if you need to go larger…we understand.

Quick Tip to Shape the Patties

Gently shape into circles about 1.5” thick. Patties should be flat, or slightly concave in the middle to promote even cooking. Handle the meat lightly: overworking, squishing and forming will make a dense, chewy burger, which you don’t want.

Grill or Broil

2

Set up your grill with zones for direct and indirect heat. Grill patties for 2-3 minutes, or until meat is seared and releases easily. Sear 2-3 minutes, then transfer to cooler side of grill to finish.
