The different techniques for grilling a burger patty include direct grilling, indirect grilling, reverse searing, and blackening. For direct grilling, set the heat of the grate to medium-high and cook the patty for 2 to 3 minutes per side. For indirect grilling, place the patty on a cooler side of the grill and cover with the lid. Depending on the size of the patty, cook it for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping mid-way. For reverse searing, begin by setting the heat of the grill to a low setting and place the patty on the cool side of the grill. Once the patty is cooked through, move it to a higher heat. You’ll want to sear it for a total of 2 to 3 minutes per side. For blackening, heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for several minutes. Sprinkle seasonings over the patty and place in the pan. Cook the patty for 3 to 5 minutes, flipping after each side has browned.
