These Steakhouse Burgers are juicy, flavorful, and perfectly grilled with a unique blend of seasonings and a soft bread-milk mixture that keeps them tender. Ideal for a hearty meal, they feature a hint of Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and scallions for an elevated burger experience.

Ingredients

For the Burger Mixture

  • 2 pieces white sandwich bread, crusts removed and cut into ¼-inch (6-mm) pieces
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • 2½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 3 lb (80 to 85%) lean ground beef
  • 3 scallions, white and green parts very finely sliced (optional)

For Serving

  • 8 hamburger buns
  • Oil for grilling grates

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Grill: Prepare your grill by preheating it to high heat, ensuring it is hot enough to sear the burgers and lock in the juices.
  2. Prepare the Bread Mixture: In a large bowl, mash the bread pieces and milk together using a fork until it forms a chunky paste. This mixture will help keep the burgers moist and tender. Then, add kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup; mix these ingredients thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors.
  3. Combine and Form Patties: Add the lean ground beef and finely sliced scallions to the bread mixture. Use your hands to break up the meat and mix everything until well combined. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a compact ball. Flatten each ball into a patty about ¾-inch (2-cm) thick and 4½ inches (12 cm) in diameter. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty — this prevents the burgers from puffing up during grilling, ensuring they cook evenly.
  4. Grill the Burgers: Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the patties on the grill over direct heat, cover the grill, and cook for 2 to 4 minutes until they develop a nice brown crust on the bottom. Flip the burgers carefully and continue cooking to your preferred level of doneness, usually a few more minutes depending on thickness and heat.
  5. Toast the Buns: If desired, move the hamburger buns to the cooler side of the grill and toast them lightly before serving for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Using the bread and milk mixture in the burger mix helps retain moisture and creates a tender burger texture.
  • Making a depression in the center of each patty prevents it from bulging in the middle during grilling.
  • Adjust cooking time to ensure burgers reach safe internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for ground beef.
  • To add extra flavor, consider topping with cheese slices in the last minute of cooking.
  • The scallions are optional but add a nice fresh onion flavor.
