Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, chopped mixed herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.
- Cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (130°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium).
- While the burgers are cooking, toast the buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
- In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with a pinch of salt and pepper, and set aside.
- Once the burgers are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
- Spread a generous amount of the seasoned mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with lettuce, tomato, and onion slices.
- Place the cooked patties on top, then cover with the other half of the bun.
- Serve the burgers hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes like sweet potato fries or a fresh salad.
Tips
- For extra flavor, try adding a slice of cheese on top of the patties during the last minute of cooking.
- Experiment with different toppings like avocado, pickles, or spicy mustard to customize your burger.
- If you're feeling adventurous, mix in some crumbled feta or blue cheese into the beef mixture for a gourmet twist.
