Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 1.5 tablespoons Prepared horseradish
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 1 cup Cress
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for toasting buns)
• 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until well incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into patties about 3/4-inch thick. Use your thumb to press a shallow indent into the center of each patty to help keep their shape during cooking.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, prepared horseradish, and lemon juice until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 4

Preheat a cast-iron skillet, grill pan, or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the skillet or grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness. If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover to melt.

Step 6

While the patties cook, optionally toast the burger buns. Spread butter on the cut sides of the buns and toast them in a separate skillet or on the grill until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

To assemble the burgers, spread a generous layer of the horseradish sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place a cooked patty on top, followed by a handful of fresh cress. Add the top bun and serve immediately.

Step 8

Pair with your favorite sides like fries or a side salad for a complete pub-inspired meal!
