Prepare a charcoal grill and position the rack 4 inches above medium-high heat, or heat a gas grill to medium-high heat.

Lightly oil the grill.

Form the beef into 6 patties, about 3 1/2 inches in diameter, and sprinkle on both sides with the salt and pepper.

(Gas grills may require 1 to 2 minutes more total cooking.)
6

Transfer the burgers to a rack to rest for 5 minutes.
7

Top each burger with about 1/2 tablespoon of the butter and a sprinkling of the chopped parsley.

Meanwhile, toast the English Muffins on the grill for 2 to 3 minutes.
