Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 1/2 pounds 85% lean ground beef
- salt and pepper
- 4 large hamburger buns, insides brushed with butter and lightly toasted on the grill
- 4 leaves of green leaf lettuce, washed and dried
- 1 ball burrata, cut into 8 slices, drizzled with olive oil if desired
- 1/4 cup basil emulsion or pesto
- 4 slices beefsteak tomato
- fresh basil leaves
Instruction
- Heat grill or ridged grill pan to medium-high. Lightly toast your buns. Have all your burger ingredients ready for assembly on your counter or table, except for beef.
- Form ground beef into 4 patties. Don't pack the meat, or handle it too much. Use a light hand for the best juicy burger results. Season with salt and pepper. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or to your taste.
- Place one lettuce leaf on bottom bun, trimmed to fit.
- Place burger on next.
- Top with two slices of burrata.
- Next, a schmear or drizzle of basil emulsion/pesto…
- Followed by a slice of tomato…
- And a basil leaf or two or three.
- Maybe a little more basil emulsion/pesto on inside of top bun, if you like. Close it up. Grab a bunch of napkins - it might get messy. Buon appetito!
