-Final cook of the burger to sear the outside, should be done with as high of heat as possible. Over direct flame coals or on a cast iron pan.

A few words on safely cooking hamburger...

Rare - 125-130°F / 51-54°C
Medium-Rare - 130 - 135°F / 54-57°C
Medium - 140 - 145°F / 60-63°C
Medium Well - 155 - 160°F / 68-71°C
Well Done - 165°F + / 74°C+

Most food safety agencies caution that ground beef burgers should only be eaten if the internal temp reaches 165ºF - to ensure food safety.
Eating a burger cooked to a lower temperature carries risks of food borne pathogens.

Most of pathogens are on the surface of the meat (whole muscle cuts like steaks and roasts). This makes it relatively "safe" to eat a steak rare or medium rare, because the surface of the cut is seared at a high temperature first, killing most or all of the surface bacteria.

Ground meat carries a higher risk because the bacteria on the surface will be spread throughout the entire grind. If the grinding equipment, and prep area aren't properly sanitized, then the risk increases.

If you grind the meat yourself using quality ingredients and strict sanitation; the risk is minimised. However always avoid serving under cooked ground meat to the elderly, young children, and those with weakened immune systems.
