For serving

Instructions
- 1
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions (about 6 oz each). Gently form each into a patty roughly 3/4 inch thick, pressing a shallow dimple into the center of each with your thumb to prevent doming during cooking. Season both sides generously with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Heat the oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet or heavy skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers and just begins to smoke.
