Description

There's nothing like the taste of a juicy burger hot off the grill, especially when you use a charcoal grill. The smoky flavor from the charcoal is unbeatable. This recipe will show you how to make the best burger for your charcoal grill. It's juicy, flavorful, and easy to make.

Prep Time

Preparation time for this recipe is about 10 minutes.

Cook Time

Cooking time depends on the thickness of your burgers and the heat of your grill. For medium-rare burgers, cook for about 3-4 minutes per side.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • Charcoal grill
  • Charcoal briquettes
  • Chimney starter
  • Grill brush
  • Grill spatula

Method

  1. Preheat your charcoal grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough burgers.
  3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
  4. When the grill is hot, brush the grates with a grill brush to clean them. Place the patties on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare burgers. Adjust the cooking time according to your preference.
  5. When the burgers are almost done, add a slice of cheese on top of each patty and close the lid to allow the cheese to melt.
  6. Remove the burgers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Make sure to use ground beef that has a good amount of fat. The fat will help keep the burgers juicy and flavorful. If you want to make the burgers ahead of time, you can refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before grilling.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your grill is hot before adding the burgers. This will help sear the outside and keep the inside juicy.
  • Don't press down on the burgers while they're cooking. This will cause the juices to escape and result in dry burgers.
  • Let the burgers rest for a few minutes after cooking. This will allow the juices to redistribute and keep the burgers juicy.
