Combine 4 lbs of ground beef in a bowl.

Prepare garlicky water by crushing garlic into water and letting it sit for 1-2 hours.

Remove garlic and keep the garlicky water.

Add 3/4 tablespoon of sea salt per pound of meat to the bowl.

Add black pepper to taste, approximately 1/4 tablespoon per pound.

Add a tiny bit of baking soda to the mixture.

Add garlicky water, about 1/4 cup per pound of meat.

Mix the meat mixture thoroughly in the kitchen sink to avoid mess.

Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to let the flavors meld.

Remix the meat mixture after an hour, adding a bit more garlicky water if necessary.

Shape the mixture into thick sausages, about the size of a fist, ensuring they are thick enough to avoid drying out during cooking.

Refrigerate shaped sausages for at least 3-4 hours or overnight if possible.

Preheat the grill to about 300°F.

Cook the sausages on the grill, checking after 5 and 10 minutes, turning them to ensure even cooking.
