Commentary, extra notes
Great on the BBQ, which is the usual way here; a screaming-hot cast-iron pan is the indoor stand-in. Sear hard, about two minutes a side, to seal the juices in, then cover and drop to low heat to bring the middle to 71.1 °C without burning the outside. Keep flipping under the lid so it does not overshoot. Worked through with photos here: Cast-iron burgers
