Best-Ever Barbecued Ribs

The Perfect Cheeseburger

Salt-and-Pepper Rib-Eye

My Rating: Overall: (24 ratings)

1 1/2 pounds ground beef, preferably chuck (20 percent fat)

Vegetable oil, for brushing

1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

4 slices American cheese

4 potato rolls, such as Martin's or Oroweat, sliced

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

Divide the meat into 4 equal portions, about 6 ounces each. Place 1 portion on

a work surface. Cup your hands around the meat and begin to gently shape it

into a rounded mound. (Use light pressure as you shape so that you dont pack

the meat too tightly.)

Lightly press down on the top of the meat with your palm to gently flatten it.

Continue rotating and cupping the meat, patting the top of it occasionally,

until you've formed a 4-inch diameter, -inch-thick patty. Using your thumb,

make a small indentation in the center to help keep the burger flat as it

cooks. Repeat with the remaining portions. Transfer to a plate, cover with

plastic wrap, and chill until ready to cook.

Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill on high heat.

Brush the grill grate with oil. Season the patties on 1 side with the salt and

pepper. Place on the grill, seasoned side down, then season the other side.

Grill until lightly charred on the bottom, 3-4 minutes.

Turn and top with the cheese. Grill to the desired level of doneness, 3-4 more

minutes for medium-rare burgers. Transfer to the rolls and let stand for 3

minutes before serving.

Cuisine: American

There are plenty of ways to gussy up a burger. But to make one that's as

mouthwatering as it is classic, all you really need is good old American

cheese and just the right amount of fat in your ground beef.

This does sound perfect! But what is perfect? I love an

In-N-Out burger when I am visiting family in Cali, I love

love love my dads perfectly grilled burgers too. Burgies

in Nashua, Mt makes a good one as well that melts inthe mouth! I had a quesadilla burger at Applebees

once and thought I found perfectin...tell my next

burger, then I wasn't sure. My boys have to add a

splash of Alpine Touch to make theirs perfect(some

people in MT can't live without it), I love to to get my

buns at the Grains of Montana (so good, the bun is

important too ya know). I have not found the "perfect"

burger yet, but I have come pretty darn close! So the

search continues....but I don't mind! ;)
