Instructions
Divide the meat into 4 equal portions. Form each portion into a ¼-inch-thick burger. Do not over pack and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb, so that it will not shrink as much. Season both sides of each burger with salt and pepper.
Heat the 2 tablespoons of butter in the pan or medium-high heat until the butter begins to foam. Splash in some Worcestershire sauce and place burger in the pan. Cook until golden brown and very slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes.
Before flipping the burgers add 2 tablespoons more of the butter and allow it to melt. Flip the burgers over and move them around in the butter to coat the bottoms. Splash is some more Worcestershire and cook the burgers until golden brown and very slightly charred on the second side. 4 minutes for medium rare (3 minutes if topping with cheese).
Add the cheese, if using, to the tops of the burgers during the last minute of cooking and top the pan with a lid or tent the burgers with aluminum foil to melt the cheese. Remove the burgers from the pan. Place in a warm place and allow to rest while browning the buns.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the pan. Split the buns in half and place them in the pan. Allow the buns to brown and become crispy.
Sandwich the hot burgers between the buns, add toppings and serve immediately.
