Step-by-Step Method
Mix the beef
In a bowl, combine the ground beef and barbecue sauce. Mix just until evenly coated—don’t overwork it. Add salt and pepper if you like.
Shape the patty
Form the mixture into one patty and press it gently. Make a small dimple in the center to help it cook evenly.
Heat the pan
Warm a skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat.
Cook the patty
Place the patty in the pan. Cook about 4–5 minutes per side. For more well-done, add 1–2 extra minutes; for juicier, shorten slightly.
Rest and serve
Let the patty rest on a plate for 2 minutes. Serve with a little extra BBQ sauce, or tuck it into a bun with simple toppings if you want.
