The hamburger's exact origin is debated among several American claims, but by the early 20th century it had become one of the defining dishes of American food culture.
A grilled beef patty served in a soft bun with classic toppings — one of the most iconic and widely eaten dishes to come out of American food culture.
Shape the beef mince into four patties, seasoning generously with salt and pepper.
Grill or pan-fry over high heat for 3-4 minutes per side, adding cheese in the final minute to melt.
Toast the buns lightly.
Assemble with sauce, lettuce, tomato and the patty, and serve immediately.
Handle the beef mince as little as possible when shaping patties — overworking it makes for a tougher, denser burger.
