| Papa Fink's Burgers |
Burgers are simple but people tell me that mine are some of the best they ever ate.
The next time you make burgers use your favorite seasonings but try some of my secret tips:
1. Do not use 90% or 95% lean meat. Use 80% or 85%. The fat gives the burger it's flavor and most of the fat comes out in the grilling.
2. Never...never buy preformed patties. Make them yourself and handle the meat as little as possible.
3. Cook over a very high heat for a short time. Under 2 minutes per side for rare.
Most people over cook their burgers with meat thats too lean and they really don't taste very good.
Happy Grilling |
