Instructions
Ultimate Burger
In a small bowl, mix the pepper, garlic and onion powders. In a large bowl, add the meat and gradually add in some of the spices until thoroughly mixed, being sure not to compress the meat too much and leave some air pockets.
Form the patties to about 4-inches wide and 3/4-inch thick. Refrigerate until ready to grill.
Before adding beef to grates, season the exterior with salt. Add to both sides a thin layer of light olive oil.
Cook directly over medium-high heat, flipping once until cooked in the center.
Ultimate Sauce
Whisk everything together in a small bowl until smooth.
Serve the burgers on high-quality soft buns, buttered and toasted for texture and flavor.
Smear the sauce on the bottom bun, then top with the burger and veggie toppings.
