When I got married, I asked my Aunt Jean for this recipe. It was her creation and she always hamburgers in this way for family picnics in the summer and the occasional church dish dinner. I like them because they have a great taste and are very moist.

Time 35m

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pounds brisket, ground
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 thin slices Swiss cheese
4 hamburger buns, split

Steps:

  • Preheat a large cast-iron skillet to medium hot. Take a few paper towels and fold them several times to make a thick square. Blot a small amount of oil on the paper towel and carefully and quickly wipe the hot skillet to make a nonstick surface.
  • Season the ground meat in a bowl with salt and pepper. Give it about 3 turns in the bowl with your hands or a big spoon and it's done. Shape into 4 patties. When the skillet is hot, put the burgers on the skillet and cook 4 minutes on the first side and 5 for the second side for rare; 7 minutes per side for medium, adding the cheese during the final minute or 2 to melt. Remove the burgers to a plate. Rub the skillet with the folded paper towel again to clean it. Then toast the buns cut side down for about 1 minute, just to mark them. Serve the hamburgers in the buns with the accompaniments below.
  • Saute 1 pound thickly sliced mushrooms in 1/4 cup olive oil with 2 sliced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves over super-high heat until nicely browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in a couple of drops fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons unsalted butter with 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add 2 onions, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook slowly until well caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Thickly slice 2 pounds red and yellow beefsteak tomatoes, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt and 1/2 bunch chopped fresh chives.;
  • Lay out 1/2 pound sliced bacon on a baking sheet, strip leaves from 1 sprig rosemary and throw them on top with lots of cracked black pepper and roast at 400 degrees F until the bacon is crisp, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir together 1 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish, 1/4 cup freshly minced herbs such as parsley, basil, chives or scallion, 2 tablespoons olive oil, a little squeeze of lemon juice, and salt and pepper.

HAMBURGERS (TAVERN STYLE)



Hamburgers (Tavern Style) image

Here is the hamburger you get in better taverns and bars, plump and juicy, with a thick char that gives way to tender, medium-rare meat. It is best cooked in a heavy, cast-iron skillet slicked with oil or fat. Ask a butcher for coarse-ground chuck steak, with at least a 20 percent fat content, or grind your own. Keep it in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook, and then when you do, form your patties gently. Season after the meat is in the pan.

Categories     burgers, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 teaspoon neutral oil, like canola, or a pat of unsalted butter
2 pounds ground chuck, at least 20 percent fat
Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
4 slices cheese (optional)
4 soft hamburger buns
Lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes and condiments, as desired

Steps:

  • Add oil or butter to a large cast-iron or stainless-steel skillet and place over medium heat. Gently divide ground beef into 4 small piles of around 8 ounces each, and then lightly form these into thick patties of around 3 1/2 inches in diameter, like flattened meatballs. Season aggressively with salt and pepper.
  • Increase heat under skillet to high. Put hamburgers into the skillet with plenty of distance between them and allow them to cook, without moving, for approximately 3 minutes. Use a spatula to turn hamburgers over. If using cheese, lay slices on meat.
  • Continue to cook until meat is cooked through, approximately another 3 to 4 minutes for medium-rare. Remove hamburgers from skillet and allow to rest for approximately 5 minutes; meanwhile, toast the buns. Place hamburgers on buns and top as desired.

BAR BURGERS

There are plenty of fancy recipes for hamburgers, but as most of you know.. the best burgers are those ones that you get at the neighborhood bar. Whats the secret? The big secret is that there is no secret! The grill cook is just trying to fill the order as quickly as possible with no special effort. The simplicity is what makes bar burgers taste so good. One of the keys is to buy meat labeled hamburger.. no lean ground meat for these. Look for the packages with the grind marks visible.. These are the best!!

BEST BURGERS



Best Burgers image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Yield 8 (4-ounce) burgers

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds ground beef
1 garlic clove, finely minced
1 medium onion, finely diced
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon hot red pepper sauce, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground celery seed

Steps:

  • In a large bowl combine all ingredients well. Form mixture into 8 equal patties. Refrigerate, covered in plastic until ready to grill. Grill or pan fry to desired degree of doneness.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the burger will be. Look for high-quality ground beef, fresh buns, and crisp toppings.
  • Season the meat generously: Don't be afraid to season the meat with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to develop flavor and keep the burger from being bland. You can use a pre-made burger seasoning mix or create your own.
  • Don't overwork the meat: When you mix the ground beef, do it gently and quickly. Overworking the meat will make it tough. Just mix it until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Form the patties gently: When you form the burger patties, do it gently and without packing the meat too tightly. This will help to keep the burgers juicy and tender.
  • Cook the burgers over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the burger while keeping the inside juicy and cooked through.
  • Don't flip the burgers too often: Flipping the burgers too often will make them dry out. Flip them only once, when the bottom side is nicely browned.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness: The internal temperature of the burger should be 160°F for medium-rare, 165°F for medium, and 170°F for well-done.
  • Let the burgers rest before serving: This will help to keep the juices in the burgers and prevent them from drying out.

Conclusion:

Making a great bar burger is all about using fresh, high-quality ingredients, seasoning the meat generously, and cooking it properly. By following these tips, you can make delicious bar burgers that will be sure to impress your friends and family.
