1) Turn on your grill, oil it up with a high heat tolerant fat (avocado oil, grapeseed, ghee, etc.), close lid, and wait for it to get hot!
2) Season your patties liberally with salt + pepper.
3) Get all your condiments ready (lettuce, tomato, onion, etc.).
I love thick sliced grilled red onions on my burgers. The sweetness in the grilled onions are a great contrast to the savory-ness of the meat and the umami-filled black garlic butter.
4) Spoon out your black garlic butter (roughly ½ to 1 oz per person is a nice amount) into a microwave safe bowl, and melt for 10 seconds. You can also use a small saucepot to melt the butter and place it right on the grill beside you for simplicity/ease.
5) Place your patties on the hottest area of the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes, depending on the thickness of your patties.
6) Flip over and cook for another 2 minutes. Then, you’re gonna brush your black garlic butter all over the patties and let melt for the last few minutes of cooking.
**Pro tip: Grilled Black Garlic buttered buns always deliver as well! If you’re doing this, now would be a good time to throw them on the grill.
7) Place your seasoned & buttered patties on your buns, load up with your favorite condiments, and enjoy some of the best burgers of your life!
