The key to this perfectly simple burger is keeping the thick-ness of the patties even (to avoid uneven cooking) and closing the grill cover to avoid flare-ups. In addition to traditional toppings like lettuce and tomato, try avocado or caramelized onions. If you like, toast the buns alongside the burgers. If you opt for a charcoal grill, make sure to spread the coals evenly and keep the grill closed during the cooking process to avoid flare ups.

In large bowl, mix beef, Worcestershire, garlic, salt, and black pepper and shape into 4 patties, each about 1 inch thick. (To retain juiciness, be careful not to overwork the meat.)
