Let’s Make It Together
Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients on your countertop. Chop onions and mince garlic so everything is ready for mixing.
Mix the Patty Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onions, minced garlic, salt, and pepper using clean hands until just mixed. Don’t overwork it!
Shape the Patties: Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into patties about 1-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty—it helps them cook evenly.
Preheat Your Grill or Pan: Heat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Lightly oil the grates or pan if necessary to prevent sticking.
Cook Your Burgers: Place patties on the grill or pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness. Look for juices bubbling up; that’s a good sign!
Add Cheese (Optional): If you’re feeling cheesy (who isn’t?), add cheese slices during the last minute of cooking and cover until melted.
Now you have beautiful halal beef burgers ready to be topped with all those glorious extras!
Remember that cooking time may vary based on thickness; always check internal temperatures if unsure.
