Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

- Black Pepper: Freshly cracked black pepper adds a subtle heat that complements the beef perfectly.

- Burger Buns: Choose soft but sturdy buns that can hold all the goodies without falling apart.

Let’s Make it Together
Prepare the Patty Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground halal beef with salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Use your hands to mix gently until just combined; avoid overworking the meat.
Shape the Patties: Divide the meat mixture into equal portions and shape each into patties about three-quarters of an inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking.
Preheat Your Grill or Pan: Heat your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat until hot enough that water droplets sizzle on contact. This helps achieve that beautiful sear.
Cook the Burgers: Place patties on the grill/pan for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness. Look for juices pooling on top as an indicator they are nearly done.
Add Cheese (if using): If you’re feeling cheesy (and who isn’t?), add slices during the last minute of cooking to let it melt perfectly over those juicy patties.
Assemble Your Burger Masterpiece: Toast burger buns lightly on the grill while assembling. Place cooked patties on bottom buns followed by pickles and sliced onions. Crown with top buns and serve while hot!
Remember that cooking times may vary based on heat levels and preference, so feel free to adjust as needed!
Now you’re ready to enjoy some incredible Halal Beef Burgers with Pickles and Onions—a dish that’s sure to impress!
