Description

Learn how to cook the best burgers on a Weber gas grill with this easy-to-follow recipe. Great for any night of the week and done in less than an hour! All you need is your grill a few simple ingredients, and a meat thermometer!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1pound 80/20 ground chuck
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 2 tsp Black pepper
  • 2 tsp Kosher salt
  • 4-pack of Brioche burger buns
  • 4 slices of cheddar cheese
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 large beefsteak tomato
  • Bread and butter pickles

Instructions

  1. Turn all burners to a high-heat setting (450°F).
  2. Let the gas grill sit for about 5 to 10 minutes before grilling to burn off any food residue.
  3. After that, clean the grill grates using a bristle-free grill brush.
  4. Season the ground beef with pepper and salt.
  5. Shape the meat into four balls to create 1-inch thick hamburger patties, with a 4-inch diameter.
  6. Season the outer surface of the patties with pepper and salt. Then, gently brush with vegetable oil on all sides.
  7. Place your burgers on the cooking grates over high heat. Don’t flip the burgers too often or press down on them. After 3 to 5 mins, carefully check the burgers to see if they are browned, and flip them just once.
  8. Continue to cook for a further 3 to 5 mins until the internal temperature of the burgers reaches 160°F on a digital meat thermometer.
  9. During the last minute of grilling, place cheese on the patties and close the grill lid to melt the cheese.
  10. Take the burgers off the grill and allow them to rest for 2 to 3 minutes.
  11. Spread butter on the hamburger buns and arrange them on the grill rack for a few minutes until they are toasted.
  12. Slice onion and tomato into 1/8” slices.
  13. Take your burgers and buns off the grill, and assemble them, adding the pickles, onions, tomato, and any other condiments of your choice! I recommend ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard.
