Ingredients

6-10 minutes
1 serving
  1. 1/4 lbround patty of ground low-fat beef or buffalo
  2. to tasteSalt, preferably without additives, Diamond Crystal is okay and so is Celtic -- for me
  3. Clean a brick. Or half a brick is even better. Cover it completely with foil

Cooking Instructions

6-10 minutes
  1. 1

    Let meat thaw in refrigerator, if frozen. It's nice to let it come to room temperature before you start cooking.

  2. 2

    Add thawed patty. Use the brick covered with foil -- and an extra piece of foil to protect the foil on the brick -- to press down on the meat, flattening it a little. The extra foil means you don't have to clean the brick. Leave the brick on the meat as it cooks.

  3. 3

    Let the meat sizzle for 3-4 minutes. Turn and cook another 2-4 minutes, again using the foil-covered brick.

  4. 4

    Check doneness with a thermometer or trust your judgment. You'll learn how your burner, pan and meat work together. Don't overcook.

  5. 5

    The patty tastes best when it cools just a little. Leftover, it's still delicious from the refrigerator the next day or two. Microwave for 30 seconds at power 5 unless you're like me and eat leftovers at room temperature.

  6. 6

    Not mentioned are condiments or bread for a sandwich because those who suffer from food sensitivities have to make their own choices. It's delish with a little Romaine or Iceberg.
