Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated garlic
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon coarse ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 8 hamburger buns
  • lettuce, tomato, red onion for serving, plus your favorite condiments

Instructions

  1. Prepare the grill fire to about 300° using hickory or oak wood for smoke flavor.
  2. Combine brown sugar, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and dry mustard to create the steak rub.
  3. Mix the prepared seasonings into the ground beef and form it into 8 patties, making an indentation in the center of each.
  4. Place the patties over indirect heat on the grill and cook with the lid closed for 5 minutes.
  5. Flip the burgers and continue cooking until they reach an internal temperature of 165°.
  6. Remove the burgers from the grill and serve on buns topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, and your favorite condiments.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding cheese during the last few minutes of cooking.
Allow the patties to rest for a few minutes before serving to keep them juicy.
Feel free to customize toppings based on your preference, such as avocado or pickles.
