1 1/2 lbs ground beef
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for grill grates

1. In a large bowl, combine beef, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and garlic; season very generously with salt and ground pepper. Using your hands or a fork, gently combine. With a light hand, form into 4 balls; then gently shape each into a 3/4-inch thick patty.

2. Heat a charcoal or gas grill to high. Brush grill grates with oil. Place burgers on grill and cook until desired doneness, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. (Do not press down on burgers, as this will release juices.) Serve on toasted buns with desired accompaniments.

Serves 4
