1 Cook for about 3 1/2 minutes for medium-rare. 2  Your burger is done when you reach an internal temperature of 130 to 135° F (55 to 57° C). 3  Cook for 4 minutes for medium. 4  Your burger is done when you reach an internal temperature of 135 to 150° F (57 to 65° C). 1 Cook for 4 minutes for medium. 2  Your burger is done when you reach an internal temperature of 135 to 150° F (57 to 65° C). 3  Cook for 4 minutes or longer for medium well. 4  Your burger is done when you reach an internal temperature of 150 to 165° F (65 to 74° C). Well: Grill for 5 minutes, flip, grill for 5 more minutes. (170° F). However, keep in mind that time alone is never a reliable measure of doneness. There are just to many things that can affect it (patty thickness, wind, outdoor temp., heat source consistency, and so on...). Well, that depends on two things: how you like your hamburgers done and how thick your patties are. Let's start with the patties... The optimal thickness for burgers is about 3/4 of an inch thick (unless your making sliders or mini's which can be made a little thinner). That said, here are average grilling times for burgers when grilling with the tried-and-true method of direct, high heat (450-650° F): : Medium Rare (130-135° F): Grill for 3 minutes, flip, grill for 4 more minutes. Medium (135-150° F): Grill for 3 minutes, flip, grill for 5 more minutes. Medium Well (150-165° F): Grill for 3 minutes, flip, grill for 6 more minutes. Well Done (165° F and up): Grill for 3 minutes, flip, grill for 7 more minutes. Well, that depends on two things: how you like your hamburgers done and how thick your patties are. Let's start with the patties... The optimal thickness for burgers is about 3/4 of an inch thick (unless your making sliders or mini's which can be made a little thinner). This is a sure sign that the meat is cooking through in the middle, which pushes the juices to the top. Flip the burgers over and grill for 1 - 2 minutes shorter than the time it took to start seeing the juices (about 3 - 4 minutes should do the trick for medium, but again, it depends on the grill). If you are making cheeseburgers, now is the time to slap the cheese on and close the lid just long enough to melt the cheese. Remove the burgers from the grill and let them sit for about 5 minutes while you toast a few buns on the grill! That's it, that's all you have to do to cook the perfect hamburgers on a grill. Add hamburger patties over direct heat and grill covered for 3 minutes on each side for medium rare plus. Remove from grill (or top with cheese to melt) and rest 3 – 4 minutes before serving. Top with your choice of ingredients and serve. Method. 1  Grill your burgers over high heat. 2  Avoid using your spatula to press down on your burgers while cooking. 3  Flip your burgers only one time–about 3 minutes on each side for medium rare plus. 4  If you get a flare up, cover the grill. 5  Allow your burgers to rest for a few minutes before serving. 1 Grill burgers for 4 minutes without disturbing. 2  Open the barbecue lid, flip the burgers over and cook the opposite side for 3 minutes. 3  Flip the seared burgers twice more over the next 4 to 6 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 135F to 140F is reached. 1 Preheat the barbecue grill or prepare charcoal so that a medium-hot grill surface of 475 to 500F is maintained. 2  Brush some cooking oil on the top side of the burgers. 3  Quickly grease the preheated grill with a rag or paper towel soaked with some cooking oil. 4  Place the burgers on the pre-heated grill, top side down. IF USING A GRILL: Heat a gas grill to high or heat coals in a charcoal grill until they glow bright orange and ash over. Brush the burgers with the oil. Grill the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes for beef and 5 minutes for turkey. Flip over the burgers. Cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare (3 minutes if topping with cheese) or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Cook turkey burgers until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes on the second side. Add the cheese, if using, to the tops of the burgers during the last minute of cooking and top with a basting cover, close the grill cover, or tent the burgers with aluminum foil to melt the cheese. Cook the burgers as for a grill, above. IF USING A SAUTE PAN OR GRIDDLE (PREFERABLY CAST IRON): Heat the oil in the pan or griddle over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Cook 1 Hamburger -- Grilling burgers is one of the easiest types of outdoor cooking. 2  For medium well hamburgers, you'll want to make ¼ lb patties and grill them for approximately 5-6 minutes on each side. 3  As each grill is different, you'll want to keep an eye on cooking times the first few times you use your grill. 1 How long to cook your steak will depend on your personal preference, as well as the cut and thickness of the meat. 2  Until you become familiar with your grill, use a meat thermometer to gauge a steak's doneness. 3  145°= rare, 160° = medium and 180°= well done. 4. Grill the Burgers: Grill the burgers for 2 minutes on each side, then move them to a lower-heat area of the grill. Cook another 2-3 minutes for medium-rare burgers, 3-4 minutes for medium, or 5-6 minutes for well-done burgers. In the last minute of cooking, lay a slice of cheese on top of each burger and arrange the buns over high heat to toast. 5.
