- 5.
- Pour on the Worcestershire sauce.
- 6.
- With your hands (or a spoon) mix and knead the beef and seasonings until evenly combined.
- 7.
- Using a box grater, quickly grate the very cold butter, as you would cheese.
- 8.
- Sprinkle the grated butter over the beef mixture.
- 9.
- Quickly knead in the butter, trying to distribute evenlyyou dont want your hands to melt the butter, so move fast.
- 10.
- Separate the beef into 8 equal sized portions, and form into balls.
- Flatten the balls into patties.
- Try to tuck any exposed, larger butter pieces inside of the patties.
- 11.
- Cook immediately, or chill in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
- 12.
- When ready, grill the hamburgers over medium-high heat, until done to your liking.
- Grilling times will vary based on the grill, and the degree of doneness.
- I flip the burgers after the first 2 minutes, to sear both sides, Then grill about 4 minutes per side for medium well doneness.
- Watch for flare ups, and move the burgers if they occur.
- 13.
- Serve on toasted buns, with the condiments of your choice.
- This burger stands well on its own, so the simpler the toppings the better.
- Or go all out with caramelized onions, tomato slices, sauteed mushrooms, crisply cooked bacon, cheese, pickles, and/or guacamole.
