Easy and Delicious Burger Preparation (serves 4, ¼ pound burgers)

1 lb of ground beef
4 Tbs Soy sauce
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp chili powder
½ cup onion, finely minced and lightly sautéed
1 Tbs olive oil (separated)

Instructions: Heat ½ Tbs of olive oil in a sauté pan and add onions until translucent (apx 3-4 minutes).  Stir the onions in order to cook evenly.  When cooked, set aside and cool.  Combine all the ingredients in bowl, using your hands to mix until ingredients are fully incorporated.  Separate into four balls and form patties that are about ¼ inch thick.   Heat grill to apx 350 degrees.  Drizzle rest of olive oil over the burger, and use your hands to evenly coat all sides of the burger.  Carefully place burgers on the grill and cook for apx 4 minutes on each side for a medium rare burger. Do not press down on the burger when cooking.  If necessary, move burgers to the lower heating point of the grill to avoid excessive charring.  Once cooked to the desired temperature, allow burger to rest before putting on top of a bun.  Once rested, prepare the burger with any desired condiments. Some of my favorite toppings are blue cheese, bacon crumbles, and garlic aioli.
