Chopped beef steak turns out very juicy and goes well with any side dish made from natural ingredients.

How to cook Hamburger

Step 1

Prepare the mince. Chop the meat with a knife. Cut the onion into small cubes. Add salt and pepper. The mince should be well kneaded and beaten. Put the mince in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.

Step 2

Form the steaks. Form a ball from 2-3 tablespoons of the mince. Press it lightly with the back of a knife so that its thickness decreases to about 1.5 cm. Give the steak a round shape. Fry the steaks for 5-6 minutes on each side.

Hamburger - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use ground chicken or turkey instead of beef for hamburgers?

Absolutely! Ground chicken or turkey are great lean alternatives. Just note that they cook faster and can dry out, so aim for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and consider adding a bit of olive oil or breadcrumbs to keep them moist.

How can I make vegetarian hamburgers with this method?

For a vegetarian version, replace the meat with a mix of mashed beans (like black beans or chickpeas), cooked lentils, or a store-bought plant-based patty. Add an egg or breadcrumbs as a binder, and season well for flavor.

What’s the best way to store leftover cooked hamburgers?

Let them cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze individually wrapped patties for up to 3 months.

Can I prepare the hamburger patties ahead of time?

Yes! Shape the patties and layer them between parchment paper in a container. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours before cooking, or freeze for future use (thaw in the fridge before frying).

How do I reheat hamburgers without drying them out?

Reheat gently in a covered skillet with a splash of water or broth over low heat, or microwave with a damp paper towel over them. Avoid high heat to keep them juicy.

What sides pair well with homemade hamburgers?

Classic options include crispy fries, coleslaw, or a simple green salad. For a low-carb twist, try grilled veggies, avocado slices, or a cauliflower 'bun.'

How can I make smaller or larger patties than the recipe suggests?

Adjust the portion size as needed—just keep the thickness uniform (about 1.5 cm) for even cooking. Smaller patties cook faster; larger ones may need extra time.

Why do I need to refrigerate the minced meat before forming patties?

Chilling firms up the fat, making the patties easier to shape and less likely to fall apart during cooking. It also helps the flavors meld.

Can I grill these hamburgers instead of frying them?

Yes! Grill over medium-high heat for the same time per side (5-6 minutes). Avoid pressing the patties to keep them juicy, and use a meat thermometer for doneness (160°F/71°C for beef).
