Johnny-Boy Burgers
Submitted by John C
Ingredients:
1/2 pound ground beef per serving
Equal parts of the following to taste:
Kosher salt
Coarsely ground black pepper
Your favorite commercial or homemade dry BBQ rub
- Form the ground beef into patties 1-inch thick. Allow to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.
- Set the EGG® up for direct cooking. When the EGG is heated to 650°F, place the burgers on the grill and sear for two minutes.
- Flip the burgers once (see the note regarding cooking at high temperatures). After two more minutes, flip the burgers once more.
- Completely shut down the EGG by closing the damper top and draft door. Let the burgers cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until they reach the desired internal temperature (check with a meat thermometer).
- Remove the burgers and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Note! If you have been cooking at temperatures above 300°F, be very careful when opening the lid. First raise the lid an inch or two and pause to "burp" it before raising the lid completely. This will allow the sudden rush of oxygen to burn safely inside the EGG and not as a flashback which could startle you and possibly cause injury.
