Ingredients

• 2 lbs Ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp Fresh chives, finely chopped
• 1.5 tsp Kosher salt
• 1 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 4 pieces Cheese slices (optional)
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 4 slices Sliced tomato
• 4 rings Sliced onion

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the unsalted butter, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, and chives. Mix well to create the herb garlic butter. Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to firm up.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 3

Divide the ground beef mixture into four equal portions (about 8 ounces each) and shape each into a patty, roughly ¾ inch thick. Using your thumb, make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing up during grilling.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F). Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Just before grilling, take the herb garlic butter out of the refrigerator. Using a knife, slice about 1 teaspoon of the butter mixture for each burger, and sandwich it in the center of each patty, sealing the meat tightly around it.

Step 6

Place the patties on the hot grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving them to develop a nice sear.

Step 7

Flip the patties gently and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F for medium doneness. If adding cheese slices, place them on the patties during the last 1-2 minutes of cooking and close the grill lid to melt the cheese.

Step 8

While the burgers cook, toast the burger buns on the grill cut-side down for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 9

Assemble your hamburgers by layering the bottom bun with a lettuce leaf, the cooked patty, a slice of tomato, and onion rings. Add any additional toppings or condiments you like, then top with the other half of the bun.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy these juicy herb garlic butter hamburgers!
