Ingredients
Instructions
Shape and Sear Patties
Start by shaping the ground beef into four equal-sized patties. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high for a couple of minutes until it’s nice and hot. Add the burgers and let them brown on one side, which should take about 2 minutes, then flip them over.

Season and Flip Burgers
Turn the heat down to medium and sprinkle half of the salt and pepper on the cooked side. Flip the burgers again and cook for about 6 minutes. Season the other side with the remaining salt and pepper, flip once more, and let them cook for another 6 minutes.

Add Worcestershire Sauce
Now, pour half of the Worcestershire sauce over the burgers, flip them, and cook for 2 more minutes. Repeat with the rest of the sauce, cooking for an additional 2 minutes. To make sure they’re cooked through, check that the internal temperature hits at least 160°F (71°C).
