Basic grilled burgers

Ingredients:

• 350 g of ground beef shoulder
• 350 g of ground beef sirloin steak
• 2 tsp vegetable oil to grease the grill grates
• Hamburger buns, cheese, onion, tomato, lettuce, pickles and French fries for serving (optional)

Preparation:

1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
2. Gently combine the two types of ground meat in a large bowl, being careful not to overwork the meat. Form four patties, each 2 cm thick and 10 cm in diameter. Sprinkle evenly with 1.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.
3. Lightly oil the grill grate. Place the patties on the grill, being careful not to press them down with a spatula. Cook until browned on one side, about 3.5 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until browned, about 3 minutes for medium-rare.
4. Assemble burgers using buns and any toppings of your choice and serve with fries.
