Let’s get grilling! Here’s how to prepare your burgers
- A few days before the big grilling day, place the frozen meat inside the fridge so it can thaw.
- Once thawed, prepare the burgers by shaping them with your hands. Be careful not to over press or overhandle the patties, as this makes the beef lose its moisture.
- Season the meat a few minutes before putting them on the grill. At Designer Beef, we recommend only using salt and pepper because our dry-aged hamburgers are already so delicious! No need to over-saturate the beef with the flavors it already has.
- It’s now time to fire up the grill. For grilling, we prefer propane, a cast-iron skillet, or our favorite charcoal. Once the grill is ready, place the burgers on top, and then cook for 3-5 minutes on each side.
Tip: do not squish the burgers on the grill, as this pushes out the moisture. You want the beef to be as juicy as possible!
Extra tips and tricks
- If you really want to impress your guests, you can toast the buns on the grill for extra texture and zest. Try it out! You might be surprised by how much they like it.
- Because it’s summer, decorate your dinner party by using anything red, white, and blue. Not only is it great for the Fourth of July, but we do this when we want to celebrate the beautiful nation we live in!
Get ready for all your friends and loved ones to be impressed with the most amazing burger they’ve ever had. And for even more tips on how to cook your burgers, visit us at our blog where you can discover the other kinds of recipes and how-to’s we provide.
