Ingredients
12 ounces beef chuck, coarsely ground
12 ounces beef sirloin, coarsely ground
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, for the grill grates
Hamburger buns, cheese, onion, tomato, lettuce, pickles and french fries, optional, for serving
Directions
- Preheat a grill over medium-high heat.
- Gently toss together the chuck and sirloin in a large bowl, making sure not to overwork the mixture. Form the beef into four 3/4-inch-thick patties, each about 4 inches in diameter. Sprinkle evenly with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Lightly grease the grill grates. Put the patties on the grill; do not press down on them with a spatula. Cook until the patties are seared and browned on one side, about 3 1/2 minutes. Flip and cook on the second side until browned, about 3 minutes for medium-rare.
- Assemble the burgers using your favorite buns and toppings and serve with french fries, if desired.
