Making your own ground beef is soooo much better than buying the store made stuff. The texture is way better and you get to control what kind of beef you use. The burgers were so good that they didn’t last long enough to get a picture of the end result. They were super moist and tender....the best steak burgers you can make.
It was too cold and windy to grille today so I made them using the America’s Test Kitchen method. Simply form the beef patties by hand with as little mixing and compression as possible and only add salt and pepper. Brown them on each side using a hot skillet (I use my cast iron pan) and then transfer them to a cooking sheet and finish them off in a 300F oven. Add cheese to however many patties you want before baking. Remove them from the oven when the internal thermometer reads 135F.
Viola! Perfect hamburgers.
