Pan Fried Hamburgers

0 Line a baking sheet with wax paper, and set aside.
1 Place the ground beef into a large bowl. Pour the Worcestershire sauce onto the meat.
2 Combine the salt, onion powder, garlic powder and black pepper in a small bowl. Stir to combine.
3 Pour the seasonings on top of the beef.
4 Use clean hands to break the beef into smaller pieces and gently toss it together with the spices. Do not knead, as this will create tougher burgers.
5 Divide your meat into six portions, and form the patties with your hands or a burger press. (Mine were ⅓ lb. each and about 1 ½” thick.) Place the patties onto the prepared baking sheet.
6 Create a well in the top of each burger with a finger or a spoon. This will prevent the burger from shrinking up and bloating in the middle.
7 Place the burgers in the fridge while you warm your skillet.
8 Place a cast iron or heavy bottomed skillet over medium-high heat on the stovetop, and heat until screaming hot.
9 Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes per side, flipping only once and not pressing down with the spatula. (If you press down, your burgers will lose moisture.)
10 Use a meat thermometer to take the burgers’ temperature. When the burgers is within 5-10 degrees of your desired temperature, remove from the skillet. Place it on a plate, cover with foil and let rest for 10-15 minutes.
11 Serve on a bun with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
