Ingredients
6 servings
- •2 lbs 93/7 Ground Beef
- •2 tbsp Olive oil
Regular (not extra-virgin) olive oil for high-heat cooking. EVOO for dressings.
Instructions
- 1Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of your oven and preheat to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- 2Place the ground beef in a medium bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and gently combine with your hands until just mixed—do not overwork. Shape into 6 patties approximately 1/2-inch thick.
- 3Divide the patties evenly between the two baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart (no more than 3 patties per sheet) to allow juices to release.
- 4Bake at 400°F for 4–5 minutes, then switch the baking sheets between the upper and lower racks.
- 5Continue baking for another 4–5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 140°F–145°F for medium doneness and the edges are browned and slightly crispy.
- 6Transfer the cooked hamburgers to a plate and let rest for 2–3 minutes.
- 7Divide the rested patties evenly into 6 airtight containers while still warm, allowing room for cooling before sealing.
- 8Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or reheat in a 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes until warmed through before serving on buns with desired toppings.
