Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Cold water
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and breadcrumbs.
Step 2
Add the cold water to the mixture and gently mix everything with your hands until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the patties tough.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick. Make a small indent in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Step 5
Once the pan is hot, place the patties in the pan, allowing enough space between them to cook evenly. Avoid pressing down on the patties to retain their juices.
Step 6
Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without disturbing them, then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the patties reach your desired level of doneness. For medium, the internal temperature should read 160°F (71°C).
Step 7
Remove the patties from the pan and let them rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve the smokey juicy burger patties on your choice of buns with your favorite toppings and sauces. Enjoy!
