Ground Halal Beef: Opt for an 80/20 lean-to-fat ratio for juicy, flavorful patties that won’t dry out on the grill.
Garlic Powder: A dash of garlic powder enhances the burger’s flavor without overpowering it—perfect balance is key.
Onion Powder: Adds a sweet depth that complements the beef beautifully; freshly ground if possible for best flavor.
Salt and Pepper: Essential seasonings—use kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper for maximum impact.
Burger Buns: Choose soft yet sturdy buns that can hold up against juicy patties and toppings without falling apart.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.
Let’s Make it Together
Prep Your Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C). This ensures those burgers get that perfect sear while locking in all those flavors.
Mix Your Meat Magic: In a large bowl, combine ground halal beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; avoid overworking to keep them tender.
Shape Those Patties: Divide the meat mixture into equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Form each portion into a patty slightly larger than your bun—remember they shrink while cooking!
Grill Time!: Place patties on the hot grill. Cook them for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness—look for those beautiful grill marks as an indicator.
Add Cheese (Optional): If you’re feeling cheesy (and who isn’t?), add slices of cheese during the last minute of cooking to melt perfectly over those warm patties.
Assemble Your Masterpiece: Toast burger buns lightly on the grill. Layer bottom bun with lettuce, followed by the patty, then top with tomatoes and pickles before capping it off with your top bun.
Now you’re ready to serve these beauties! Enjoy every bite as you bask in your role as the ultimate grill master.
With these grilled halal beef burgers in hand and laughter in the air, your gatherings will be filled with joy—and maybe even some friendly competition over who makes the better burger!
