- Cuisine: German
Ingredients
Units Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 slices of cheese
- 4 tomato slices
- Lettuce leaves
- Thin rings of onion
- Ketchup (mayo and/or mustard)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (180°C) (to toast the buns).
- Combine ground beef, parsley, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix well. Shape into 4 patties.
- Grill, covered with grill lid, over medium-hot coals (350°-400°F) for 4-5 minutes on each side or until beef is no longer pink. If adding cheese, place it over the finished side of the burger during the last minute or two of grilling so the cheese melts slightly.
- If cooking in a pan, place burger patties into medium-sized pan and cook at medium-high heat for several minutes, until side is no longer pink. Flip beef burger carefully, and continue cooking another few minutes until the beef is no longer pink. If adding cheese, place it over the finished side of the burger during the last minute or two of cooking so the cheese melts slightly.
- Cut buns in half and place into oven. Bake 2-3 minutes or until lightly toasted.
- Serve burgers on toasted buns with lettuce, tomato, onion and condiments.
