Nothing complicated here.
Nolan Ryan half pound patties on a hot pan.
Olive oil, salt, and pepper. No candy-ass fancy bullshit required. Meat, buns, cheese, a condiment of your choice.
These were cooked and consumed medium rare, the way a high quality burger should be.
If you don't trust your burger meat medium rare, get better burger meat.
I think I'll cook more next week.
Bonus points: Add a good summer beer, like Four Corners' Local Buzz -made in Dallas Texas. ;)
