Instructions

Divide the ground beef into (4) equal pieces and form into patties about 3" across and 1/2" thick. Press your thumb into the center (this will help the patties hold their shape), then season both sides with salt and pepper.

Place the burgers in the air fryer basket in an even layer. Cook at 360 degrees for 4 minutes, then flip and cook an additional 3-4 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 140-150 degrees for medium well doneness.

Remove the burgers from the air fryer basket and serve with your favorite condiments, lettuce wraps or buns. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Don't Overwork the Meat 🤲
Mix ground beef gently and minimally—overhandling creates dense, tough burgers instead of tender, juicy ones. Form patties with light hands and avoid pressing down during cooking.
Create a Thumbprint Indent 👍
Press your thumb into the center of each patty before cooking to prevent the burger from puffing up and ensure even cooking throughout, maintaining that perfect juiciness.
Chill Patties Before Air Frying ❄️
Refrigerate formed patties for at least 30 minutes before cooking to help them hold their shape and stay juicy, preventing them from shrinking excessively during the air frying process.
Use Grass-Fed Beef's Advantages 🌾
Grass-fed beef has superior flavor but less fat, so avoid seasoning beyond salt and pepper to showcase its natural richness, and don't overcook past medium to maintain maximum juiciness.
Optimal Air Fryer Temperature & Time ⏱️
Air fry at 370°F for 9-10 minutes (flipping halfway) to achieve a crispy exterior while keeping the interior juicy—this temperature is ideal for grass-fed beef's lower fat content.
