Let’s Make It Together
Prepare Your Grill or Skillet: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or place a skillet over medium heat on the stove. A hot surface is key to searing!
Mold Your Patties: In a bowl, combine ground halal beef with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Form into thick patties while keeping them slightly larger than your buns – they shrink while cooking!
Sear Those Burgers!: Place patties onto the grill or skillet for about 4-5 minutes on each side until you see nice grill marks and they reach your preferred doneness.
Add Onions Towards the End!: In the last minute of cooking, toss sliced onions onto the grill or in the pan until they soften and caramelize slightly – yum!
Assemble Your Burger: Toast your burger buns lightly on the grill or skillet before layering on lettuce (if using), then add your juicy patty topped with pickles and grilled onions.
Serve with Style!: Present these beauties on a platter alongside extra pickles and maybe some fries or salad. Watch everyone dig in eagerly!
Now that you have perfected these halal beef burgers with pickles and onions, get ready to bask in all those compliments coming your way! Enjoy every mouthful as you savor this delightful combination of flavors. Happy grilling!
