Instructions: You may want to sprinkle these burgers lightly with garlic salt while they are on the grill.

Break up chuck and sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss lightly with hands to distribute. Divide meat into four equal portions.

With cupped hands, toss one portion back and forth to form a loose ball. Pat lightly to flatten meat into 3/4 inch burger that measures about 4 1/2 inches across. Press center of patty down with fingertips until about 1/2 inch thick, creating a well in center of patty. Repeat with remaining portions of meat.

Grill burgers, uncovered and without pressing down on them, until well seared on the first side, about 2 1/2 minutes. Flip burgers with a wide metal spatula.

Continue grilling to desired doneness: about 2 minutes for rare, 2 1/2 minutes for medium-rare, 3 minutes for medium or 4 minutes for well-done. Serve immediately.
