Get 1 pound of ground chuck in a bowl.

Gently divide the meat into four portions using fingers.

Form each portion into a circle gently without smashing it down.

If grilling, make a dimple in the center of each patty to prevent puffing; if pan-frying, no dimple is needed.

Refrigerate patties for a couple of minutes to firm them up before cooking.
