I use 5lbs of 27% fat Ground beef
I press 4 cloves of garlic. I use 2 ounces of Worcestershire sauce, one ounce of liquid smoke, and an ounce or red wine, (burgundy or Shiraz/cab mixes work well). I use half a tablespoon of ground black pepper. I also mix in a couple of pinches of paprika, and a few more pinches of dried parsley. I then mix all the ingredients together and slowly kneed into all of the meat. I make as many three quarter pound(approx) burgers and don't flatten them out too thin. They should be roughly an inch and a 1/4 thick and 5 inches in diameter. Once the patties are made I sprinkle kosher salt over then and pat the salt into them until dry. Then I Get the BBQ hot and clean the grill. Then I take a white onion, cut it in half and shove a 2 pronged BBQ fork through the onion. I take a bowl of olive oil and dip the onion in the oil. I then rub the oily onion half over the grill back and forth until nicely coated. (This makes the burgers have a great flavor. Also watchout for flareups from the olive oil)(this is an Israeli method) Cook to desired level and enjoy. Thats how I roll. Sesame roll. Last edited by BanningZ; 09-22-2009 at 12:04 AM. |

do you know what goes really well with a perfect burger????
how about some poutine, i made some last night. peel & cut potatoes. do what i call flash fry, fry the raw potatoes until barely cooked, then bake it until golden brown mostly, cool it off...put in freezer if you want to. then fry again until it's totally golden brown now. put some cheese and BBQ gravy and call it a day.....very basic/simple recipe. here's the result, took a pic lol |

I thought NPR said to make the perfect burger you had to use free range cattle that were grass fed only, and allowed to die a natural death, no slaughter?

I enjoy the classic cheese burger.
Lettuce, tomatoe, cheese, onion, pickle. Oh wait it's not classic cause you gotta throw some A1!
