Your meat is ready to go. Your fixins and toppings are all picked out. The only thing left on the agenda before you get to devour them is to actually cook them.
We love grilled burgers as much as every single one of you reading this, but here is an other option that requires less prep time, is better suited for cooking a single burger and is not affected by the weather.
Who knows, you might even like the final product better than the grilled counterpart.
STEAMED BURGERS:
What you’ll need: Large skillet or pan with cover, cooling rack, water
How you do it:
Put the rack in the pan. Add water to the pan until it’s just below the rack. It’s a burger, not a submarine, so you don’t want it in the water. Kick the burner up to high until it hits a nice boil. Reduce the heat to medium/medium-high–you want it to keep the boil and the steam–and add your burgers to the rack. Cover the pan and let steam for 7-10 minutes. Top burgers with cheese (be careful because, you know, hot steam). Cover pan again and steam for additional 1-2 minutes, or until cheese melts.
Optional: Steam your buns and some onions too.
