Simple tips for good burgers
Grilling season is officially back. A few weeks ago I grilled up some hamburgers, and Sean asked me for a recipe. Turns out that I already posted it. This time I was a little short on time so I left out the mushrooms and added a dash of thyme to the mixture. The keys to a good burger: 1) Don’t overmix the meat, 2) Be gentle while shaping the patties, 3) Check the temperature with a meat thermometer (135-140 F is good), 4) Don’t check the temperature too many times because it’ll let all the juices leak out.
Jess recently sent me an article about grinding your own beef. Sounds like a good thing to try.
