Happy Grilling Season! 4 Tips to Make Grilling the Best Burgers a Breeze

By

It’s time to powerwash the patio, don your favorite “Kiss the Cook” apron, and give those trusty metal tongs a few test clicks. That’s right: Grilling season is finally here. If you look forward to that first bite of juicy, flavorful burger all year long, you know that the delicious patty is all about perfecting your technique.

Here are four tips to help you take your grill game to the next level so you and your loved ones can enjoy mouthwatering burgers all summer long.

Choose Your Meat Wisely

The most important step in grilling the perfect burger takes place before you even fire up the grill. If you’re a seasoned griller, you know that choosing beef with an 85/15 lean-to-fat ratio can keep your patties juicy and flavorful. However, selecting the perfect ground beef is about more than checking its fat content; it’s also about how the beef was raised.

 Grass fed meats tend to have a higher nutritional value, richer flavor, and more delectable texture. Grilling with pasture raised ground beef that was raised on a corn and soy free diet is a great way to give burger season a delicious, nutritious boost.

 

Take the Pressure Off Your Patties

A delicious burger is about the flavor and texture of the meat, not about perfectly circular patties. Overworking the beef can lead to tough, chewy burgers, so shape your patties gently and don’t worry too much about achieving the perfect disk shape.

This wisdom also applies to your grilling strategy. Pressing down on your patties with the back of your spatula might give you that delightful, sizzling sound, but it also squeezes those savory juices out of your burgers and dries them out. To keep your burgers tender, juicy, and mouthwatering, try to touch your patties as little as possible when prepping and grilling them.

 Give Your Burgers a Dimple

Every grill master has been there: you pull those patties off the grill, and for some reason, they look more like spheres than disks. As they sizzle on the grill, the edges of your patties tighten and shrink, which can cause your burgers to puff up in the middle and lead to chewy, oddly shaped patties.

Luckily, there’s an easy fix. To keep your burgers flat, even, and tasty, press a quarter-inch dimple into the center of each patty before grilling. This trick keeps the patties from puffing up in the middle and helps them cook evenly.

Explore Different Meats

Variety is the spice of life, so learning to grill different types of patties can keep your summer menu exciting and scrumptious. Grilling up pasture raised chicken burgers is a great way to incorporate a leaner meat into burger season and explore brighter, zestier flavors.

For unforgettable chicken burgers, incorporate some mayonnaise into your meat before shaping your patties. Since chicken typically has a lower fat content, this trick will keep your patties juicy and mouthwatering.

With these four tips, you can step up your grill skills this summer.
