loosely pack the meat into a patty slightly larger than your bun. Press a dimple into the center of the top and set aside
Heat a skillet on medium-high heat until sizzling / ~300F
Liberally salt the patty on both sides, sear 3 minutes on one side, flip and sear another 3 minutes
Turn heat to medium, cover and cook to desired doneness (another 4-6 minutes)
The Burger
Butter and toast the buns. For extra flavour do it in the burger skillet. For nice looking buns, do it under the broiler.
Spread the heel of the bun with onions, top with the patty, spread goat cheese on top of the patty (again so as not to mangle your bun) Top with bun top and serve with a steak knife to halve the burger
