More Mistake Proof Grilling tips from DASH :
- Buy ground beef with a fat content of 15% to 20%. Using beef that is any leaner results in dry burgers.
- Avoid overworking the meat as you form it into patties, or you'll end up with tough burgers.
- Flatten the beef into patties of uniform thickness. Use your thumb to make a small indentation in the middle of each one so that it will cook evenly (watch video to see this in action)
- Preheat grill for at least 15 minutes
- Avoid pressing down on the patties as they cook; this squeezes out all the tasty juices!
- Place burgers four to six inches away from heat source.
- Cook until burgers are well browned and a meat thermometer inserted into each patty registers 160F, for medium, or 170F, for medium-well.
