Hamburgers

Directions

1. 1
   Mix together: 1 3/4 pounds ground grass-fed chuck, Salt, Fresh-ground black pepper, 2 garlic cloves, chopped fine.
2. 2
   Shape the meat into 4 patties, packing the meat well.
3. 3
   For even cooking, smooth the edges of each patty and make a depression in the center to compensate for the swelling that will occur as the meat cooks.
4. 4
   For medium-rare hamburgers, grill for 9 minutes over medium-hot coals, turning once or twice.
5. 5
   Toast on one side: 8 slices of bread (levain or focaccia are good choices).
6. 6
   Serve the hamburgers on the toasted bread with grilled onions, some leaves of arugula or lettuce, and your favorite condiments.
7. 7
   Chop about 2 teaspoons herbs and add to the meat.
8. 8
   Lovage is particularly good.
