STEAKBURGER PATTY RECIPE (makes 4 burgers)
▪2lbs/1kg 80/20 ground beef
▪Neutral, high smokepoint oil (light olive, avocado, canola, etc)

Measure beef into 225-250g/8oz patties. Slap the meat back and forth in your hands to help develop the protein while forming a patty that’s about 6”/15cm in diameter. Indent the middle of the patty. The patty should be slightly larger than your bun since the beef will shrink when cooked. Season liberally with salt and pepper

Preheat a nonstick on medium-high. Add a drizzle of oil & place patty in pan, indented side down. Press down on patty with spatula to ensure maximum surface contact. After 2-3min or when burger is cooked about halfway up the sides, flip to the second side. See remainder of instructions below based on the burger you’re making:
