Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Season your ground beef patty with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Avoid pressing the patty to keep it juicy. Rest the burger for a few minutes before serving to let the juices redistribute. For added flavor, toast the bun and add your favorite toppings.
