How to Make the Best Burger Patty Gordon Ramsay: Step-by-Step Guide
A juicy, flavorful burger patty inspired by Gordon Ramsay’s method — made with simple ingredients and cooked to perfection. Ideal for family dinners or summer grilling.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef 80/20 fat ratio
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove minced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard or fresh parsley
Instructions
- 1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg yolk, Worcestershire sauce, chopped onion, garlic, and seasonings.
- 2. Mix gently with your hands — just enough to combine without overworking.
- 3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and form each into a ball.
- 4. Flatten into patties about ¾ inch thick, pressing a small dimple in the center of each.
- 5. Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat until very hot.
- 6. Lightly oil the patties (not the pan), then sear for 2–3 minutes per side for a golden crust.
- 7. For thicker patties, transfer to a 375°F (190°C) oven for 5 more minutes.
- 8. Let rest for 2 minutes before serving on toasted brioche buns with toppings of your choice.
Notes
Use freshly ground beef for best results — the 80/20 fat ratio ensures a juicy, flavorful patty.
The thumbprint prevents the patty from puffing during cooking.
Dijon mustard adds depth without overpowering the meat.
Pairs well with truffle fries or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
