Classic Diner Burger

Classic Diner Burger

This is THE burger you get in a diner or burger joint that celebrates all things beef.  The charred meat is key, achieved when using the hot pan.   You get smokey, caramelized flavour simply using your run-of-the mill frying pan.  This is also the foundation for my Ultimate Burger.

This is what you’ll need

453 g Extra lean ground beef (1 pound)

Salt (to taste)

Pepper (to taste)

This is how you make it

Preheat a nonstick skillet to high.

Roll the meat into 4 or 5 even-sized balls.

Place the balls into the very hot pan and immediately flatten them, as thin as you can get them (I used a strong spatula).

Season liberally with salt and pepper.

Flip the burgers after 2-3 minutes, when there’s a yummy darkened crust; season this second side with salt and pepper also.

Transfer to toasted buns when the meat is cooked through (about another 2 minutes after they’re flipped).

Notes:

1. You can eat these patties on lettuce wedges in place of buns to cut out the carbs.

Might I suggest???

Canadian Poutine

as a decadent side 🙂
