Burgers Well Done But Still Juicy Food

BURGERS, WELL-DONE BUT STILL JUICY!

Steps:

• Heat grill.
• Mash bread and milk in large bowl with fork until pasty (you should have about 1/4 cup). Stir in salt, pepper, garlic, and steak sauce.
• Break up beef into small pieces over bread mixture. Using fork or hands, lightly mix together until mixture forms cohesive mass.
• Divide meat into 4 equal portions. Gently toss one portion of meat back and forth between hands to form loose ball. Gently flatten into 3/4-inch-thick patty that measures about 4 1/2 inches in diameter. Press center of patty down with fingertips until it is about 1/2 inch thick, creating a slight depression in each patty. Repeat with remaining portions of meat.
• Lightly dip wad of paper towels in vegetable oil; holding wad with tongs, wipe cooking grate. Grill burgers on hot side of grill, uncovered, until well seared on first side, 2 to 4 minutes. Using wide metal spatula, flip burgers and continue grilling, about 3 minutes for medium-well or 4 minutes for well-done. Distribute equal portions of cheese (if using) on burgers about 2 minutes before they reach desired doneness, covering burgers with disposable aluminum pan to melt cheese. While burgers grill, toast buns on cooler side of grill, rotating buns as necessary to toast evenly. Serve burgers on toasted buns.

AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN BURGERS

Steps:

• Crumble bread into mixing bowl.
• Add milk 1/2 Tbsp at a time and mash with fork until a paste-type mixture is formed. This may require an adjustment to the amount of milk, we mostly just eyeball it.
• Once paste is formed, add remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly.
• Form into 1/4 lb patties and grill or pan-fry. Top with cheese if desired.
• 1 Tbsp Worchestershire sauce can be replaced by 2 Tbsp A1 Steak Sauce.

HAMBURGERS, TENDER AND MOIST.

Steps:

• Put hamburger and water into a mixing bowl, along with any seasonings you like --
• Mix together (I use my hands) --
• Divide into fourths, thirds, or halves, depending on how large of a burger you want --
• Flatten to shape the burgers (I stick 'em between two sheets of wax paper and press with my hand) --
• Cook the burgers just like you would normally --
• They will be very soft and hard to handle, so be careful placing them into the pan, or grill --
• GENTLY flip the burgers when you think they are about half done. They will be firmed up good by the time they are done cooking.
