Classic Beef Burgers

Source of Recipe


From "Burger Night (Williams-Sonoma)" by Kate McMillan



List of Ingredients



• ½ pound ground beef
  
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  
• 4 kaiser rolls, splt
  
• 4 romaine lettuce leaves
  
• 1 beefsteak tomato, cut into 4 slices
  
• Catsup for serving
  
• Dijon mustard for serving
  






Instructions



1. Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
   Form the ground beef into four patties, using your fingers to create a dimple in the middle of each. Season both sides well with salt and pepper.
   
   
2. Coat the grill grate lightly with cooking spray. Arrange the burgers on the grate directly over the heat and grill, turning once, until medium-rare, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate to rest and cover to keep warm. Arrange the rolls, cut side down, on the grate directly over the heat and toast until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes.
   
   
3. To serve, set the burgers on the rolls and top with the lettuce, tomato, catsup, and mustard. Serve right away.
