Ron’s hamburgers are a treat, even in the winter. I make sourdough brioche buns and assemble the condiments, and Ron takes care of the burgers. He’s very specific about the ingredients that go into his burgers as well as how they’re shaped and grilled, which is why I’ve called this recipe Burgers à la Ron! If I’m ambitious I’ll also make a salad or French Fries in the air fryer.
These hamburgers taste even better in the summer when they’ve been prepared on the grill and we’re eating out on the picnic table, but for now, we have the broiler, and I’m not complaining!
You know how when you’re good at something, that task always lands on your lap. Ron’s happy to help out in the kitchen, but I’m sure Ron didn’t intend for this to happen. I haven’t make a hamburger in over twenty years!
Burgers à la Ron
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef (see note)
- 7 T Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 large onion
- chopped rosemary, tarragon, parsley or other herbs (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients – Fold the beef, Worcestershire sauce, and minced onion together gently, being careful not to turn the mixture to mush.
- Form the patties – Divide the beef mixture and form into eight patties (approximately 1/4 pound each). Large patties make it easier to keep them rarer in the middle.
- Grill – grill the patties four minutes per side, until they register 118° in the middle using an instant read thermometer.
