Burgers on my Weber I could make blind. But the green egg is new to me. Now to learn to grill burgers on a new device you don't go out and buy the most expensive meat. That be silly.
So I bought meat that's called riblappen in Dutch to grind (and if someone could give me the English term for it I'll be very grateful cause I been looking for it for ages.)
The burgers turned out fine but there is room for improvement.
Last year I bought this meat grinder. One of the best investment I ever made for 40 bucks. The meat had some nice fat. Perfect for burgers. €10/kg.
It takes more time to assemble and clean the grinder than to actually grind the meat (800g in a less than a minute)
I needed 6 burgers. The fastest way to divide the meat is to just make 6 small balls and start adding meat to each of them one by one till you run out. They will be roughly equal.
I use a press to make burgers. It creates a little dent in the center so they stay flat while grilling.
I guess this is sort of a kitchen episode. I cut 4 big red onions.
I cooked them in a pan with some oil for 10 minutes. Then added butter, sugar and balsamic vinegar. And reduced them down.
Time to grill
Buns go on first always.
I'm just going, to be honest, and show you classic grill error number 1. Not hot enough. this was 200C.
Preparing the bun. Keeping it simple. A little lettuce and the onions.
End Result. Now the onions were a great success and tasted delicious with the meat which was perfectly juicy. In fact, the whole burger was delicious but that doesn't mean there wasn't room for improvement. I think I need to make the burger thicker next time and grill on a higher heat to get better grill marks.
