Burger
- Canola oil, for greasing grill
- 3 pounds organic prime ground beef chuck (preferably grass-fed)

- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 6 English muffins, split
- 1 large beefsteak tomato, cut into 6 slices
- Prepare a charcoal grill and position the rack 4 inches above medium-high heat, or heat a gas grill to medium-high heat.
- Lightly oil the grill.
- Form the beef into 6 patties, about 3 1/2 inches in diameter, and sprinkle on both sides with the salt and pepper.
- Grill the burgers, charring well on both sides, until almost but not quite as done as desired, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- (Gas grills may require 1 to 2 minutes more total cooking.)
- Transfer the burgers to a rack to rest for 5 minutes.
- Top each burger with about 1/2 tablespoon of the butter and a sprinkling of the chopped parsley.
- Meanwhile, toast the English Muffins on the grill for 2 to 3 minutes.
