01
Cook and Season Patties
Start by dividing the ground beef into four equal portions and shape them into patties. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high for a couple of minutes until it’s nice and hot. Add the patties and cook them for about 2 minutes on each side until they get a nice brown crust. Then, turn the heat down to medium. Sprinkle half of the salt and pepper on the burgers, flip them, and let them cook for about 6 minutes. Season the other side with the remaining salt and pepper, flip again, and cook for another 6 minutes. Pour half of the Worcestershire sauce over the burgers, flip, and cook for 2 more minutes. Repeat with the rest of the sauce and cook for a final 2 minutes. To make sure they’re done, check that the internal temperature reads at least 160°F (71°C).
Why you’ll love it
These burgers are quick to make and full of flavor. Cooking them in a frying pan keeps them juicy and gives a nice sear. They are perfect for a simple weeknight meal or a casual get-together.
How to serve
Serve with classic toppings like lettuce, tomato, cheese, and pickles. Pair with crispy fries or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. Adding a spread like mayo or mustard enhances the flavor.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave to keep the patties moist. Avoid freezing cooked patties as they may lose texture.
