Perfect Burger
Try this recipe for a perfectly grilled hamburger using all natural Western hickory BBQ smoking chips.
Ingredients:
1½ LBS ground beef1½ TBSP Jack Daniel’s Steak SeasoningKosher saltFresh cracked black pepperVegetable oil4 slices deli-style American cheese, optional4 Burger Buns
Directions:
- Mix the Jack Daniel’s Steak Seasoning with the ground beef and then refrigerate while you prepare the skillet.
- For a gas grill, preheat to medium-high and place Western Hickory Wood Chips in a smoking tray or arrange in a foil pack and place directly over the hottest part of the grill. For a charcoal grill, prepare a fire and then place a handful of Western Hickory Chips directly on your hot coals or place chips in a smoking tray and place on the grill.
- Remove the ground beef from the refrigerator, divide into four 6-ounce portions, shape the patties and season with salt and pepper.
- When the grill is hot and the chips are smoking, arrange the patties on the grill without overcrowding. Cook for 3 minutes and then turn the patties over and cook for 2 more minutes. For best results, at least half of the cooking time should be with the lid closed to infuse the wood chip flavor.
- Transfer the burgers to a platter and lay a slice of cheese on top if desired. Tent the platter with foil and allow the burgers to rest for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Place burgers on buns and add your favorite toppings.
