Grilling burgers is an art form that requires a combination of skills, practice, and the right tools. However, despite your best efforts, it can be challenging to achieve that perfectly grilled, juicy and flavorful burger.

There are many variables to consider, such as the type of meat, the temperature of the grill, the seasoning, the tools you need and the cooking time, just to name a few. In this post, we will show you the steps needed to make your backyard the next great burger restaurant.

2. Get The Griddle "Ripping Hot"

As Rhoda explains in her tutorial below, the first step is to put the Griddle over high heat on your grill and close the lid, letting the griddle preheat and come up to a high temperature. Don't worry, the Griddle can withstand 1200F, so make sure you get it nice and hot. This will allow you to get that desired crispy outside of the burger while maintaining a juicy inside.

3. Smash Your Burgers Within 30 Seconds

When choosing your burger meat, select grass-fed 80%/20% ground beef. Pack the ground beef into quarter pound, loosely packed balls so you smash the burgers flat on the griddle. After placing the ground beef balls onto your griddle, quickly smash your burgers to sear them. When the juices start to accumulate on the top of your burger, you know it is time to flip (about two minutes per side).
