1

Start by introducing the ingredients for the hamburger.

2

Use 1/4 pound of ground chuck, noting that sirloin is preferred but ground chuck is fine.

3

Add 1 teaspoon of butter to the pan and melt it over medium heat.

4

Shape the ground chuck into a patty without overworking it, pressing it down flat.

5

Season the patty with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

6

Place the patty in the preheated pan with melted butter.

7

Cook the patty for about 3 minutes without pressing it down with a spatula.

8

After 3 minutes, check the patty; if the juices are clear, it’s cooked through.

9

Flip the patty and cook for another 3 minutes, again checking the juices for doneness.

10

If the juices are still red, continue cooking, flipping as necessary until juices run clear.

11

After cooking for a total of about 7-9 minutes, the burger is ready to serve.
