Ingredients
Scale
Beef Patties
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices American cheese
Buns and Spread
- 4 hamburger buns
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
Instructions
- Preheat skillet or griddle: Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat to achieve a perfect sear on the patties.
- Form patties: Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into thin patties to ensure quick and even cooking.
- Season patties: Season both sides of each patty with salt and black pepper to enhance flavor.
- Cook patties: Place the patties on the preheated griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until thoroughly cooked and browned.
- Prepare garlic butter: While the patties cook, mix the softened butter with garlic powder to create a flavorful spread.
- Toast buns: Spread the garlic butter mixture onto the inside of the hamburger buns and toast them on the griddle until golden brown and fragrant.
- Assemble double burgers: On four of the cooked patties, place a slice of American cheese, then top each with another cooked patty to form double stacked steakburgers.
- Prepare buns: Spread mayonnaise on the bottom halves of the toasted buns and sprinkle garlic salt on top for added garlic flavor.
- Complete the burger: Place the assembled double steakburgers on the prepared buns and top with the remaining upper halves of the buns to finish.
Notes
- For juicier burgers, avoid pressing down on patties while cooking.
- Use 80% lean ground beef to ensure a good balance of flavor and fat content.
- Make sure the burgers and buns are warm when assembling for the best taste and texture.
- You can substitute American cheese with cheddar or your preferred melty cheese.
- Adjust garlic powder and salt according to personal taste preferences.
