[Food] Cheeseburgers - Timo

17 April 2010

It's the start of grilling season so I made up some cheeseburgers and tortilla chips for the afternoon.

I started grinding my meat this year. Fresh burger meat all the time. I usually go with about 25% lean sirloin and 75% fatty chuck. I only season the sirloin. Usually give it a rub in some seasoned salt and cajun blend.

Sirloin


Cube it up with the chuck and grind it right before it goes on the grill. Here's a picture of me grinding my meat.

Grabbed a great light brioche bun recipe from smitten kitchen. Great site. Here's a picture of my hot buns.

Then here's my secret. When you normally add your cheese, throw on a slice of salami first. Adds a lot of flavor. I used some horse radish cheddar for an extra kick.

Grilling Meat


The burgers came out great, medium rare, really moist, nice spice. The buns were perfect. And for an added bonus, here's a picture of the fucking gross meat donut I pulled out of the grinder.

I think that's the first time anyone on the internet has introduced a picture of them 'grinding their meat', and it being actual meat being ground....

Nice. I was thinking about adding some sausage next time. Just a little.

Love the idea of a piece of salami and horseradish cheddar. Try a piece of proscuitto with crumbled maytag blue. Also,95% chuck with a little italian sausage cooked 4 min/ 3:30 per side gives med/rare every time. ENJOY!
