Perfectly Grilled Burgers
Posted by hcpadmin
Friday June 12, 2009I have savored charcoal-grilled burgers since my childhood in Oklahoma City, where I lived only a block and a half from the Split-T, a longtime burger joint that cooks its burgers over a charcoal-fired flame. Here’s my rendition of the classic.
Overview
- Serves 4
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chuck
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Mayonnaise
- 4 whole wheat or sourdough buns
- 4 slices onion, preferably Texas Sweet or Vidalia
Instructions
- Fill a charcoal chimney with briquets, set the chimney on the bottom grill grate, and light. When the coals are ready, dump them into the bottom of your grill and spread evenly. For a gas grill, turn to medium.
- Add salt and pepper to the ground chuck and mix well with your hands. Shape the meat into 4 patties of equal size.
- Grill burgers for 7 minutes on each side.
- Spread mayonnaise on the inside of each bun and top with a grilled burger. Garnish with onion slices and enjoy.
