Steakburgers

Nightowlz — Thu, 31 Aug 2017 15:53:58 GMT

We made steakburgers using 1 lb chuck roast + 1 lb top sirloin. It made 6 burgers. They sure were good. It's the only way I want to eat a hamburger now besides 5 Guys.

I used my KitchenAid meat grinder attachment. Ran a few slices of stale bread thru it to clean out the meat. It works.

I made pot roast with the leftover chuck roast yesterday. Yum!!!

Have you ever ground your own meat for burgers?

Does anyone use their Vitamix for grinding meat for burgers? I've never tried it. My Vitamix sure doesn't work like the demos on QVC.

@Daysdee I love & use my Vitamix all the time. I have never used it to grind meat. Made a lot of salsa this summer with fresh tomatoes etc from the garden.

We did it ages and ages ago. Not worth the effort to us.

@Nightowlz A whole different deal isn't great hamburger!

Unless it is from a local butcher who grinds their own, I won't buy hamburger. I grind it in the KitchenAid grinder from various GOOD cuts of meat.

Hamburger should taste just as fresh and good as steak. It shouldn't be greasy or have gristle in it. It should have to have oil in the pan to cook it! At least that's my take on it.

I agree. I grind my own. It is so much better. No skin and unmentionables in it.LOL

My mother used to grind chuck stead and/or top sirloin - kosher - bought at the local butcher in Brooklyn. She'd also fry onions. I still have the grinder with the wooden pestel, which is used to push the meat down. It's sitting in my garage - and it's from the 1950s. I recently bought 1/3 lb. top sirloin burgers from Costco - frozen. I know ur are a lot better. Enjoy.

Would that combo work for meatloaf too?

@Nataliesgramma Sure you can. You have control over how much fat you put in it when you grind it. You can decide on the ratio you want to use.

FWIW, I grind American Kobe to make my burgers, meatballs, and meatloaf. Delicious!

Oddly on a whim I just picked up a package of steak burgers from a local grocery store already in patty form. I grilled out over charcoal and it was great tasting and cooked up nicely on the grill. I need to get them from now on.

@giddy up

I recently read there was a recall on frozen processed pre-formed hamburger patties. I think it was from Costco. E-coli found in the raw meat.

What kind and cut of beef in your frozen patties?

Were they juicy, with not much shrinkage?

So, where was your hamburger patties purchased?

Enjoy your burgers.

@EatWell I don't know what kind of meat 5 Guys uses. I don't eat them often. We pretty much cook at home. Found this online about 5 Guys.

"Five Guys uses 80/20 ground chuck-high quality ground beef containing only steer and heifer meat, which does not include any cow meat or fatty trimmings. We do not use ammoniated procedures to treat our ground beef. This means that there is NO "pink slime" in our burgers. Our beef comes from the percentage of companies that do NOT use these methods." You never know what any of these places put in the food.
