Steps
- 01Mix the beef gently with Worcestershire, garlic powder, and onion powder. Don't overmix. You want it barely incorporated.
- 02Form into 4 thick patties, about 1 inch tall. These are intentionally taller than a standard burger.
- 03Season the outside generously with salt and pepper.
- 04Dimple the center.
- 05Ready for the air fryer. Cook to medium (140°F internal) for the juiciest result.
- 06Add cheese in the last 2 minutes.
This is the thick, juicy, steakhouse-style burger that you eat with a knife and fork or an unhingeable jaw. The height is the point. A thick patty stays pink in the middle and develops a crust on the outside, just like a steak. Brioche buns hold up to the juice better than standard buns.
