Introduction
Learn how to cook a perfectly juicy hamburger on the stove top using a sauté pan. This method ensures a delicious crust and a juicy center even when you do not have access to an outdoor grill or cast-iron skillet.
Step 1
Ensure your beef patty is at room temperature and is shaped slightly larger than the bun to account for shrinkage during cooking.
Step 2
Season the patty generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick sauté pan on the stove until it begins to haze (emit light smoke), indicating it is hot enough.
Step 4
Place the seasoned beef patty in the center of the preheated pan. If using a non-stick pan, do not add oil or grease.
Step 5
Allow the burger to cook undisturbed until a beautiful caramelized crust forms on the bottom and natural juices begin to release. Flip the patty over using a rubber spatula.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Make the raw patty slightly larger than the bun to ensure it fits perfectly after shrinking on the stove.
Never use metal utensils on a non-stick surface; use a heat-resistant rubber spatula instead to protect the pan.
If using a stainless steel or aluminum pan, add a small drop of oil to the hot pan to prevent the meat from sticking.
Do not press down on the burger with a spatula, as this squeezes out the flavorful juices.
Resting the burger for 1 minute after cooking is essential to keep it juicy.
