Beef Burger Patty!

Grilling burgers are tough at times. Like you really need to be meticulous enough to choose the right beef for you. Remember that more fat is burned when you grill. Like for example, choosing ground beef from sirloin is pretty lean, so when you grill it, you'll end up having a dry burger. We don't want that of course!

On the other hand, choosing a ground beef that has lots of fat in it will give you a shrink burger and we still don't want that. So choose carefully, I recommend choosing a ground beef that is 85% lean. This will give you a burger that will stay moist but does not shrink too much.

So here's the list for the engridients:
  • 1kilo 85% lean ground beef
  • 6 gloves of garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 bulb of onion, finely chopped
  • 4 dashes of salt
  • 5 dashes of pepper
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1/2 cup of tomato ketchup
  • 1/2 cup of beer
  • a dash of Ajinomoto seasoning (optional)
Procedure:
  1. First, I like to beat the eggs then I add the garlic and onion with it.
  2. Then I put them to the ground beef which is inside a mixing container. An empty ice cream plastic container will do ^_^.
  3. Then I mix the egg mixture with the ground beef.
  4. Next is I add the salt and pepper.
  5. Then the tomato ketchup and the beer. If you got some seasonings to add then add it now.
  6. Next is I mix it thoroughly with my hands. I ensure that everything is mixed up and I won't see clumps of tomato ketchup in it nor egg yolks.
  7. Once done, I now mold it each in my hands then wrapped them individually.
Grilling:
  1. Ensure that the grill is already hot before putting the burger patty. Paint some cooking oil on the patty so the meat won't stuck in the grill.
  2. Turn the patty 2-3 minutes each side until it is cooked.
  3. You'll get a moist burger.
Frying:
  1. Ensure that the oil in the cooking pan is hot.
  2. Get the patty and dip it in a bowl of beaten egg.
  3. Then smothered it with Japanese bread crumbs (those bread crumbs they used for frying tempura).
  4. Dip the patty in the cooking pan and turn it over every 3-4 minutes each side until it is cooked.
  5. You'll now get a crispy burger.
