Why USDA Choice Burgers?
Using USDA Choice beef means better marbling and flavor than standard ground beef. The result is a burger that stays juicy on the grill, develops a great crust on cast iron, and delivers a clean, beefy bite without excess grease.
How to Cook (3 Proven Methods)
Target doneness: Cook thoroughly while keeping the interior juicy. Use a thermometer for best results. See our Temperature & Doneness Guide.
1) Two-Zone Grill (classic burgers)
- Preheat grill to 375–450°F.
- Sear over direct heat, then move to indirect heat to finish.
- Flip as needed for even cooking; avoid pressing thick patties.
2) Smash Burgers (cast iron or flat-top)
- Heat surface until ripping hot.
- Smash thin, season aggressively, and cook fast.
- Flip once; finish with cheese if desired.
3) Pan-Sear (easy indoor method)
- Sear in a hot skillet with minimal oil.
- Flip once and finish to doneness.
- Rest briefly before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- Classic: toasted bun, American or cheddar, pickles, and burger sauce.
- Elevated: brioche bun, caramelized onions, aged cheddar, or blue cheese.
- Sides: fries, onion rings, grilled vegetables, or a crisp slaw.
Pro Tips
- Season simply: salt and pepper let the beef shine.
- Don’t overwork: handle patties gently to keep them tender.
- Flip with confidence: flipping doesn’t dry burgers out—overcooking does.
Quality & Safety
- Ships frozen via cold-chain with insulated packaging and dry ice. See Shipping for cut-offs and delivery timing.
- On arrival, move directly to the freezer or cook from frozen using controlled heat. Learn best practices in Meat Safety & Storage.
