Get Thick Pub-Style Burgers With One Cooking Technique

Pub-style burgers originated from British pubs and are traditionally a serving of 80/20 beef seasoned with just salt and pepper. The best way to cook them is to reverse sear them.

Reverse searing a hamburger means cooking the meat in a low-temperature oven before dropping it onto a piping-hot pan and searing both sides.

It's a great technique for burgers, as the oven raises the internal temperature of the meat without drying it out. Finish it on the frying pan to create a crust on the outside.

To reverse sear hamburgers on the grill, warm the grill up to around 250 degrees Fahrenheit and cook the hamburgers until they're almost done.

Remove the meat from the grill or smoker and increase the temperature to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, replace the burgers and sear both sides to get a crispy and even crust.
