From “Dad’s Awesome Grilling Book,” by Bob Sloan (Chronicle). Makes 4 burgers.
Ingredients
1 1/2 ground round beef (85 percent lean)
Salt
4 classic hamburger buns
Condiments of your choice, for serving
Directions
Shape the meat into four 6-ounce burgers, each about 3/4-inch thick and 4 inches across.
Prepare enough coals for a hot charcoal fire, or preheat your gas grill on high for 10 minutes with the lid closed.
When the grill is hot, sprinkle the burgers with salt to taste and grill them for 8 to 9 minutes, turning once, until they are medium-rare.
Transfer to a bun. Add condiments and serve.
