Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce flavor these burgers before they’re cooked. We like them with lettuce, tomato, and mayo on one side, and grilled onions on the other, but try any of the accompaniments listed below.

　　

Ingredients

Serves 4

　　2 pounds ground chuck

　　1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

　　1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

　　Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper

　　4 hamburger buns

　　

Suggested accompaniments

Cheese slices

　　Sliced beefsteak tomatoes

　　Red and white onions (raw or grilled)

　　Ketchup

　　Mustard

　　Pickles

　　Mayonnaise

　　Boston lettuce leaves

　　

Step 1

Heat the grill to high. In a medium bowl, use a fork to gently combine the ground chuck with the Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce; season generously with salt and pepper. Gently form the mixture into four 1-inch-thick patties.

　　

Step 2

Place the patties on the hottest part of the grill; sear until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Move the patties to the cooler part of the grill; continue grilling until desired doneness, 4 to 8 minutes per side.

　　

Step 3

Split the hamburger buns and toast on the grill if you like; place a burger on each bun and serve with the desired accompaniments.
