-
Garlic Powder: A sprinkle of garlic powder elevates the burger’s flavor profile without overpowering it.
-
Salt and Pepper: Simple yet crucial; season generously to enhance all the natural flavors.
-
Burger Buns: Choose soft yet sturdy buns to hold all those delicious toppings without falling apart.

Let’s Make it Together
Prepare Your Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat while you prepare the burger mixture. This ensures that those patty edges get a nice sear when they hit the grates.
Mix Ingredients Together: In a large bowl, combine ground halal beef with chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Use your hands here; it’s messy but worth it!
Shape Patties: Divide the meat mixture into equal portions. Gently shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center to prevent puffing during grilling.
Grill Time!: Place each patty on the preheated grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side or until they reach your desired doneness while keeping an eye on them so they don’t overcook.
Add Cheese (if using): In the last minute of cooking, place cheese slices on top of each patty and close the lid to melt it perfectly while you toast those buns.
Assemble Your Burgers: Remove patties from grill once cooked and let them rest briefly before building your burgers with buns and all your favorite toppings!
Now you have perfectly grilled halal beef burgers that are sure to please anyone at your table! Enjoy every juicy bite as you relish in culinary triumph!

- Use high-fat ground beef (80/20) for juicier burgers that won’t dry out on the grill
