Grilling Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat around 450°F for about 10-15 minutes.
Shape 80/20 ground beef into five patties slightly larger than your buns.
Create a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb.
Season patties generously with kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper just before grilling.
Place the patties on the grill and cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes.
Flip the burgers after 4-5 minutes and cook the second side for another 4-5 minutes to an internal temperature of 150°F.
Let the burgers rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
