Let’s Make it together
Prepare Your Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This will ensure those burger patties get that perfect sear and lovely smoky flavor.
Mix Your Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground halal beef, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined—overmixing leads to tough burgers.
Shape the Patties: Form the mixture into evenly-sized patties about ¾ inch thick. Use your thumb to make an indention in the center; this helps them cook evenly.
Grill Time!: Place patties on the grill. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes until browned and cooked through (internal temp should reach 160°F/71°C).
Add Cheese (Optional): If you want cheesy goodness, place slices of cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking. Close the lid to melt it nicely.
Serve It Up!: Transfer your perfectly grilled halal beef burgers onto buns and load them up with your favorite toppings. Enjoy each flavorful bite!
