If I was just having a hamburger steak, I would want it pink and juicy.
I'm with you. That's almost exactly my preference; I would just add cheese and mustard instead of any other sauce.
Trying to make thin patties at home is always a challenge for me, so I found that you can push your thumb into the center of each patty to make an indentation that keeps them from balling up when cooking. They're still not as thin as I would prefer - like that of a typical quarter pound fast food burger - but better.
