Here is a hamburger that is plump and juicy, with a thick char that gives way to tender, medium-rare meat.

Ingredients

½ teaspoon neutral oil, like canola, or a pat of unsalted butter

2 pounds ground beef, at least 20 percent fat

Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

4 slices cheese

4 soft hamburger buns

Lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, onions, pickles

FilFil American Burger Spicy Sauce

1

Add oil or butter to a large cast-iron or stainless-steel skillet and place over medium heat. Gently divide ground beef into 4 small piles of around 8 ounces each, and then lightly form these into thick patties of around 3½ inches in diameter, like flattened meatballs. Season aggressively with salt and pepper.

2

Increase heat under skillet to high. Put hamburgers into the skillet with plenty of distance between them and allow them to cook, without moving, for approximately 3 minutes. Use a spatula to turn hamburgers over. If using cheese, lay slices on meat.

3

Continue to cook until meat is cooked through, approximately another 3 to 4 minutes for medium-rare. Remove hamburgers from skillet and allow to rest for approximately 5 minutes; meanwhile, toast the buns.

4

After toasting, spread a generous amount of FilFil American Burger Spicy Sauce on both buns. Place hamburgers on buns and top as desired.

Enjoy!
