Directions

  1. Choose a lean cut of prime or choice grade beef—top round, sirloin, or boneless rump—and have it ground once.
  2. Allow 1/4 pound of beef for each hamburger.
  3. Divide the meat, handling it gently, into the number of burgers wanted.
  4. Then divide each burger in half and pat each half into rounds about 1 1/2 inches thick.
  5. Season one round with salt, black pepper (freshly ground is best), grated fresh onion or onion powder.
  6. Top with second round and pinch edges to seal.
  7. Brush each side with basting sauce.
  8. Grill about 3 inches from hot coals.
  9. For rare hamburgers allow about 5 minutes for first side, turn, and cook about 5 minutes more.
