Grill your burgers for a smoky flavor or use a cast-iron skillet for a juicy result. Start by seasoning the meat with salt and pepper. Cook on medium-high heat: 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare and longer for more doneness. Don't press the patties to retain juices. Add cheese in the last minute if desired. Let the burgers rest for a couple of minutes before serving to keep them juicy.
