Instructions
- 1
Gather the ingredients and heat the oven to 400 F.

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Blend thoroughly.

Shape the meat mixture into 6 equal patties.

Heat a heavy, oven-safe skillet or grill pan over high heat on the stovetop. Sear the patties for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, just enough to brown them.

Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes longer or until the burgers reach a food-safe internal temperature of at least 160 F.

Serve the burgers on split toasted buns with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, and pickle slices, and the condiments of your choice.

Heat the oven to 400 F and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- 8
Place a wire rack over the foil-lined sheet pan so it is 3/4-inch above the surface of the pan. Lightly coat the wire rack with cooking spray.
- 9
Arrange the patties 1 inch apart on the rack.
- 10
Bake until they reach an internal temperature of 160 F for beef and 165 F for poultry, 20 to 25 minutes.
