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.
IF USING A GRILL: Heat a gas grill to high or heat coals in a charcoal grill until they glow bright orange and ash over. Brush the burgers with the oil. Grill the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes for beef and 5 minutes for turkey. Flip over the burgers.Cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare (3 minutes if topping with cheese) or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Cook turkey burgers until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes on the second side.Add the cheese, if using, to the tops of the burgers during the last minute of cooking and top with a basting cover, close the grill cover, or tent the burgers with aluminum foil to melt the cheese.F USING A GRILL: Heat a gas grill to high or heat coals in a charcoal grill until they glow bright orange and ash over.
