BLT Keeps It Simple

From "Bistro Laurent Tourondel: New American Bistro Cooking"

For tender, juicy burgers, use ground beef that has 20% fat and handle meat as gently as possible. Season meat with salt and pepper. Blend well, but don't overwork the meat or burgers will be tough. Form into 6oz burgers.

Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles. Grill burger for 3 mins on each side for medium rare. Do not push down the burgers while they cook. Place a slice of cheese on the burger and cook for 30 seconds, until melted.

Place burgers on bottom of buns, top with tomato, onion and lettuce. Spread BLT Steak Sauce on top half of bun.

Devour.
