This recipe delivers juicy, perfectly seared burgers on a gas grill using a simple technique to prevent sticking. Ideal for quick, flavorful backyard cookouts with minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing grill grates)
  • 4 sturdy burger buns (brioche or sesame seed, your choice)
  • Optional toppings: sliced cheddar or American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, caramelized onions, condiments of your choice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your gas grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (204°C). Clean grill grates thoroughly with a grill brush.
  2. Lightly oil the grates using a basting brush dipped in olive oil to prevent sticking.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently with your hands without overworking.
  4. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions (about 4 oz or 113 g each). Shape each into a patty about ¾ inch (2 cm) thick and slightly wider than the buns. Press a small dimple in the center of each patty.
  5. Place patties on the grill and close the lid. Grill for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving them.
  6. Flip the burgers carefully and grill for another 3-4 minutes for medium doneness. Add cheese slices about 1 minute before removing if desired.
  7. Check internal temperature with a meat thermometer; 160°F (71°C) is recommended for ground beef.
  8. Remove patties from grill and let rest for 3-5 minutes to redistribute juices.
  9. Toast the buns lightly on the grill during resting for about 30 seconds until golden and crisp.
  10. Assemble burgers with your favorite toppings and condiments.

Notes

Do not press the patties while grilling to keep them juicy. Use a clean, well-oiled grill grate to prevent sticking. Let the burgers develop a crust before flipping and keep the lid closed as much as possible. Rest burgers after grilling for best juiciness. Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness. For smoky flavor, add soaked wood chips in a smoker box on the gas grill.
