Open package of beef. Form into circle/meat patty shapes, do not mix, just shape. Make an indentation with your thumb in the middle of the burger- this helps with the meat not shrinking as much during cooking time/ holds the condiments.

Sprinkle salt and pepper on each side of patty. Sprinkle enough that you see the seasoning on each side. Salt and pepper form a crispy crust when seared on the grill. It is amazing! Place burgers in fridge until ready to cook.

Preheat grill (best results) or grill pan. When hot enough, place burgers on grill (you should hear a sizzle) grill for 3 min. per side for a perfect medium rare burger.

I chose to brush Gold's duck sauce on the burger while grilling. Crispy, sweet and savory. The perfect burger indeed!
