now there are quite a few ways to make a good burger. you can smash it down slider- or animal- style with a ton of onions. you can put it in an oven first then finish with a sear or do it the other way around. griddle, broil, grill, pan-fry... you can turn beef into boiger without a lot of trouble.

I, however, fully subscribe to the theory that adding in a bunch of spices and what not beforehand makes it meatloaf, and not a burger. So we take this lovely extra-fatty beef and add salt and pepper to the outer edges only.
