Craft the ultimate grilled burgers with this easy-to-follow recipe, featuring a flavorful homemade rub.
Mix all the rub ingredients in a small bowl until well combined.
Store the rub in an airtight container for future use.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and crushed ice gently.
Avoid overmixing the meat to keep the burgers tender.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into patties.
Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Sprinkle the rub generously over both sides of each patty.
Apply the rub just before grilling to maximize flavor.
Grill the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked to your desired doneness.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F for safety.
Serve the burgers on buns with your favorite toppings and enjoy.
Let the patties rest for a few minutes before serving to retain their juices.
