Perfect Grass-Fed Beef Burgers Recipe

Perfect Grass-Fed Beef Burgers Recipe

  • 1 small onion, coarsely grated
  • 1 1/2 pounds grass-fed ground beef
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Hamburger buns and desired toppings (for serving)
  1. Using your hands, gently mix onion, beef, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Gently shape into four 1 1/2″-thick patties (loosely formed patties will be more succulent).
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat. Season patties with salt and pepper, place in skillet, and immediately reduce heat to medium. Cook 4–6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Serve on buns with desired toppings.
  3. DO AHEAD: Patties can be formed 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill.
