Air-Fried Beef Burgers
  1. 1

    Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (195 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Shape the beef into 4 patties, about 3/4 inch thick and 4 1/2 inches across. Make the patties a bit larger than the buns to account for shrinkage.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk the warm melted butter with the beef soup base. Lightly brush both sides of the patties and season with pepper. Place the patties in the air fryer basket; depending on your air fryer’s size, you may need to cook in batches.

  4. 4

    Air-fry the patties for 7 minutes, turning halfway through, for medium doneness. For well done, air-fry 2 minutes more.
