Instructions
Prepare the Patty Mix
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, gluten-free Worcestershire sauce, sea salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to gently mix the ingredients together until they are well combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in a tough patty. Shape the mixture into two evenly sized patties, about ¾ inch thick.
Cook the Patties
Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. If you’re adding cheese, place the cheddar slices on the patties during the last minute of cooking, then cover the grill to allow the cheese to melt.
Toast the Buns
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the gluten-free hamburger buns. Spread a thin layer of butter on the cut sides of the buns, then toast them in a skillet or on the grill for about 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
Assemble the Burger
Once the patties are cooked and the buns are toasted, it’s time to assemble your burger. Spread a layer of the special gluten-free sauce on both sides of the bun. Place the patty on the bottom bun, then top with tomato slices, lettuce, and pickles if using. Add the top bun, and your Grain-Free Grill Master Hamburger is ready to serve.
