Step-by-Step Instructions for Stovetop Burgers
  1. Begin by dividing the ground beef into four equal portions, shaping each into a ¾ inch thick patty.
  2. Generously sprinkle both sides of the formed patties with salt and pepper.
  3. Preheat a cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle in the avocado oil.
  4. Carefully place the seasoned patties into the hot skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes per side.
  5. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty.
  6. Melt the butter in another pan and toast the cut sides of the hamburger buns until golden brown.
  7. Transfer the cooked patties to the toasted buns and load up with favorite toppings.
  8. Serve your assembled stovetop burgers hot with sides like fries or a salad.
