Burgers are a delicious dinner option when you’re out, but homemade burgers can be even tastier when following expert tips. However, it isn’t as simple as buying premade meat patties and placing them on the stove to cook. Whilst these will be tasty, an expert has shared how to easily create your own super delicious burgers in a few steps.
Murf at Beefy Boys exclusively told Express.co.uk: “The simple most important part of your burger is the meat.
“First of all you need a decent fat content as fat is flavour, and anywhere between 20 to 30 percent fat is what’s going to give you the best results.” After the fat content, it’s important to look for meat which is dry-aged and grass-fed. Whilst this may be more pricey, it’ll be worth it in the end result.
According to the expert, a good burger should be 100 percent meat without any fillers such as breadcrumbs, grated onion or egg. The pro said: “Just get the best quality mince you can find. Find the best butcher, you can get your meat minced fresh that day.
” When it comes to cuts, you can use for your burger; you can use chuck, brisket, rib cap and shin. The burger expert explained: 'You should treat it like steak, only seasoning the outside. If you season the mix, the salt will cure the meat and make your patties rough.
“Only season the meat when it’s on the grill. We can’t reveal our secret seasoning but salt and fresh black pepper are a good start.” Don’t disregard the bun either as this can help to create a super tasty burger and makes up a large part of it.
There are many tasty bun varieties on the market including brioche, potato bun or a pretzel bun. Murf added: “The most important tip when it comes to your burgers is to steam them. Once your patty is cooked, place the cheese and the bun lid onto the patties.
“Spray some water next to the patty and cover it with a cloche to get those patties steamy. You’ll melt the cheese and warm the bun up to bring the whole burger together.”.
