Step 1

Without mixing the ground beef, portion into 4 even-sized mounds, about 1/4 pound per patty.

Step 2

Gently form each patty into rounds, keep the patty on the plate and just form the sides into a circle, it’s okay if the edges are jagged.

Step 3

Press each patty down to a ½-inch thickness, by about 4-inches wide.

Step 4

Generously season each side with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet or nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil to the pan, once hot add the patties.

Step 6

Cook until the surface is browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until the desired doneness is reached, about 2 to 5 minutes. See notes for doneness temperatures.

Step 7

If using cheese, add to the patties about 2 minutes before reaching the desired doneness and allow it to melt on top.

Step 8

Transfer burger patties to a plate and rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 9

Toast the burger buns, then add the patties and desired toppings.
