Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 hamburger buns
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, cheese
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix ingredients gently but thoroughly, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Divide the seasoned ground beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a uniform patty about ½-inch thick. Create a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking.
- Preheat your grill, grill pan, or skillet to medium-high heat. Ensure the cooking surface is clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Place burger patties on the hot cooking surface. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on the first side, allowing a nice sear and caramelization to develop.
- Flip the burgers and cook an additional 3-4 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for food safety. If adding cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking.
- Remove burgers from heat and let rest for 2-3 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Toast hamburger buns lightly if desired. Place each burger on a bun and add optional toppings like lettuce, tomato, or additional mustard.
- Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your Mustard Rub Burgers!
Tips
- • For the juiciest burgers, handle the meat gently when mixing and forming patties to prevent tough, dense texture. • The secret to a perfect burger is creating a small indentation in the center of each patty, which prevents them from puffing up during cooking. • Use a meat thermometer to ensure your burgers reach the safe internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). • Let the burgers rest for 2-3 minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring maximum flavor and moisture. • For extra flavor, try toasting your hamburger buns on the grill or in a skillet for a crispy, golden finish. • Experiment with different cheese options like sharp cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack to customize your burger experience.
