Defrost by placing in the refrigerator overnight or use the quick-thaw method by placing the sealed burger patties in cold water for 30 minutes or until completely defrosted.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Can I Cook Burgers from Frozen?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">When <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/4-tips-for-grilling-the-perfect-burger\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">grilling burgers<\/a>, we do recommend cooking them from frozen. However, for pan-frying, the best results are when the burgers are completely defrosted. If you want to skip the thawing step, you can still pan-fry frozen burgers. Simply add 2-4 minutes per side during the cooking process and check internal temperature for your desired doneness.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Preheat Skillet <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A hot skillet is essential for a great crust on your burgers. Preheat a small amount of cooking oil in a cast-iron pan or non-stick skillet over medium heat. The best pan to use for pan-frying burgers is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/how-to-clean-and-season-your-cast-iron-pan\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">well-seasoned cast iron pan<\/a>. They are naturally non-stick and retain heat well, creating a super-hot surface that helps caramelize the outside of the burger and add incredible flavor. The most important step when pan-frying burgers is to make sure your pan is HOT before adding the burgers.<\/p>\n<p><em>Chef Tip: This high-heat cooking process can create smoke, so turn on your range hood to help ventilate the kitchen. <\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Season Burgers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Pat burgers dry with a paper towel. Lightly oil and season with 1 teaspoon of seasoning per burger. The best burger seasoning is our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/product\/Omaha-Steaks-Seasoning-00000024957?SRC=RZ0636\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">Omaha Steaks Seasoning<\/a>, which features a perfect blend of garlic, onion, and savory spices. You can also season with coarse sea salt and pepper or your favorite dry rub.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Cook Burgers to Desired Doneness<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When the skillet is hot, place burgers in the pan facing away from you so the oil does not splash. Pan-fry for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 5\u00b0F below your desired doneness. If you\u2019re craving a cheeseburger, add the cheese during the last few minutes of pan-searing to allow it to melt.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>How Do I Know When Burgers are Done? How Long Does it Take to Cook a Burger?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Overcooking can result in a dry burger, so the most accurate method to determine doneness is with a meat thermometer. The USDA recommends that ground beef be cooked to an internal temperature of 160\u00b0F, resulting in a well-done burger with no pink in the center. For medium-rare burger doneness, cook until internal temperature reaches 135\u00b0F, and for a medium burger, cook until internal temperature reaches 140\u00b0F.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The cooking time for burgers depends on the thickness and desired doneness. Don\u2019t forget the patties will continue to cook when removed from heat, so remove them 5\u00b0 before they reach your desired doneness to ensure that you have cooked your burgers the perfect length of time.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Rest, Add Toppings, and Serve! <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Remove your burger from the pan and rest under tented foil for 5 minutes to achieve maximum juiciness. Serve with steakhouse fries and your favorite burger toppings and sauces.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Try These Epic Pan-Fried Gourmet Burger Recipes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/recipes\/the-mack-burger-recipe\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">The Mack Burger<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/recipes\/french-onion-filet-mignon-burger-recipe\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">French Onion Filet Mignon Burger<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/recipes\/italian-stallion-burger-recipe\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Italian Stallion Burger<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/recipes\/the-que-burger-recipe\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">The Que Burger<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/recipes\/gouda-cheeseburger\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Gouda Cheeseburger<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Burger Product Cards&#8221;
