Perfect Grilled Burger

Perfect for summer barbecues! Or if your just in the mood for a juicy burger. I used my indoor grill pan, but of course these can be done on an outdoor grill. I like cheddar cheese but you can use any cheese you like, or just leave it out.

3. mix to combine, do not over mix.
4. Divide the meat into 4 equal portions.
5. Form each portion loosely into a 3/4-inch-thick burger and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb. Season both sides of each burger with salt and pepper.
6. Brush the burgers with the oil.
7. Grill the burgers for 3 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for 4 minutes on second side for medium rare.
