Title: Hamburgers (Tavern Style)
Categories: Five, Beef, Breads, Cheese
Yield: 4 Servings
1/2 ts Oil or unsalted butter
2 lb Ground chuck
Salt & black pepper
4 sl Cheese
4 Soft hamburger buns
Lettuce leaves; sliced
Tomatoes
Condiments
Add oil or butter to a large cast iron or stainless steel skillet
and place over medium heat. Gently divide ground beef into 4 small
piles of around 8 oz each, and then lightly form these into thick
patties of around 3-1/2" diameter, like flattened meatballs.
Season aggressively with salt and pepper.
Increase heat under skillet to high. Put hamburgers into the
skillet with plenty of distance between them and allow them to
cook, without moving, for approximately 3 minutes. Use a spatula
to turn hamburgers over. If using cheese, lay slices on meat.
Continue to cook until meat is cooked through, approximately
another 3 to 4 minutes for medium-rare. Remove hamburgers from
skillet and allow to rest for approximately 5 minutes; meanwhile,
toast the buns. Place hamburgers on buns and top as desired.
