How to make world class beef burgers.
These are the worlds best beef burgers (in my completely ubiased opinion) and I’m going to teach you how to make them.
The secret to great burgers is to start with quality beef and then to enhance the flavour with a few simple ingredients. Make sure you use regular mince, not the lean mince variety as you’ll miss out on all the delicious flavour the fat adds to the burger.
Say it with me, “fat equals flavour”. The keto crowd know what I’m talking about.
Five more tips to make your burgers truly world class.
- When making these burgers make sure you let them sit for at least an hour in the fridge (or ideally overnight), as this will allow the flavour to develop.
- Season your burgers with both salt and cracked pepper when the time comes to cook them. Don’t season them ahead of time.
- Make them chunky. A good burger should weigh about 250 grams.
- Flip the burgers once, and only once when cooking. Also please don’t squish them down to make them cook ‘faster’ as all this does is squeeze out the delicious juices.
- 3 to 4 minutes of cooking per side should be sufficient for a good chunky burger. A slight pink colour in the centre is perfectly fine.
Finally, one bonus tip to make your guests think you’re some sort of internationally reknowned burger chef. Buy a burger press. These allow you to press your mince into neat round patties that look great on a plate.
