Makes 6 servings
Ingredients
2 pounds ground chuck steak (preferably freshly ground)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Hamburger buns
Special Equipment
Mesquite charcoal
Preparation
Step 1
Place ground meat in large bowl. Add salt and pepper, and mix lightly with hands.
Step 2
Shape meat into thick, one-third-pound patties, being careful not to press too hard. (The patties should be neither too thin nor too dense, so that they retain their juiciness when grilled.) Set patties on a plate and salt liberally.
Step 3
Grill the patties over mesquite charcoal grill until medium-rare. Just before the burgers come off the fire, grill buns lightly.
