Belly fat, my friend, is a testosterone buster. And it's secretly turning you into a chick. Excess body fat makes a man look more curvaceous than cut and, if he's really unlucky, gives him a lovely pair of man-breasts to admire in the mirror. But that's not all.
Divide ground chuck into 4 patties, using your thumb to create a small well in the center of each patty. Liberally season the patties on both sides with kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper. Lightly butter the cut side of each bun, and add to the grill for 60 â 90 seconds, or until just toasted and browned. Add hamburger patties over direct heat and grill covered for 3 minutes on each side for medium rare plus. Remove from grill (or top with cheese to melt) and rest 3 â 4 minutes before serving.
Let the burgers rest at room temperature until the grill is warm, about 20 minutes. Do Ahead: Burgers can be prepped ahead of time and refrigerated until grilling. If you do this, let the burgers sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling to take the chill off. 4. Grill the Burgers: Grill the burgers for 2 minutes on each side, then move them to a lower-heat area of the grill. Cook another 2-3 minutes for medium-rare burgers, 3-4 minutes for medium, or 5-6 minutes for well-done burgers.
