Chriss Meat Hamburger Patties Food

CHRIS' BAY AREA BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Mix together the ground beef, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and basil. Divide into four balls, and flatten into patties.
• Cook the patties for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or to desired doneness. The internal temperature should be at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove from grill and place onto hamburger buns. Top with desired toppings and condiments.

CHRIS' BEST BURGERS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook and stir onion until nearly translucent, about 4 minutes; remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
• Mix the beef chuck, lamb, onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Divide the mixture into fifths and form each portion into a large burger. Press an indentation in the center of each burger with your thumb to keep burgers flat while cooking. Chill the patties thoroughly, 4 to 8 hours. Allow burgers to warm to room temperature before cooking.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook burgers on the hot grill until they show grill marks and the meat is no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes per side. Do not press burgers with a spatula as they cook, and flip only once. Let stand 1 minute before serving.

CHRIS'S MEAT HAMBURGER PATTIES

Steps:

• With the exception of the dried bread crumbs put all ingredients into a large bowl and mix well together (best to use hands).
• Slowly add breadcrumbs mixing well between additions until the mixture looses it sloppiness and not longer glistens but is of a matt consistency and no longer sticking to your hands (add too much and will start to stick to your hands again depending on how much fat is in the mince).
• Form into meat patties.
• Over high heat (hot rock grill) on the b-b-q cook for 3 minutes, then turn (not flip leaving on side it is cooking) and cook for a further 3 minutes, flip the burger and repeat the procedure on this side. Move burgers to indirect heat (on a rack or to a side plate) and cook for a further 5 to 10 minutes (depending on how thick you have made the patties). This will be a well done pattie.
• Cooking time can change between b-b-q's and personal taste.
• ALTERNATIVE COOKING METHOD - put patties onto a foiled lined tray and bake in a 175C fan forced oven for about 35 to 40 minutes.

HOW TO COOK BURGERS IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees then line a half sheet pan with foil and place a piece of parchment paper on top. Set aside.
• Add ground beef to a large mixing bowl then sprinkle burger seasoning ingredients on top and mix to combine (alternatively you could use your own burger seasoning). Divide the mixture into quarters then divide each quarter into two to create a total of eight burger patties. Place patties onto prepared baking sheet then bake for 20-25 minutes or until burgers reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees.
• Place a slice of cheese onto each burger patty then return to the oven for 1 minute to let the cheese melt. Transfer cheeseburgers to buns then serve.
