Bobby's Flay's Perfect Burger recipe from Food Network needs only a handful of ingredients, a hot grill and toasted hamburger buns.

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 pounds ground chuck (80 percent lean) or ground turkey (90 percent lean)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
4 slices cheese (optional)
4 hamburger buns, split; toasted, if desired

Steps:

  • Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Form each portion loosely into a 3/4-inch-thick burger and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb. Season both sides of each burger with salt and pepper.
  • IF USING A GRILL: Heat a gas grill to high or heat coals in a charcoal grill until they glow bright orange and ash over. Brush the burgers with the oil. Grill the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes for beef and 5 minutes for turkey. Flip over the burgers. Cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare (3 minutes if topping with cheese; see step 3) or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Cook turkey burgers until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes on the second side.
  • IF USING A GRILL PAN: Heat a grill pan over high heat on top of the stove. Cook the burgers as for a grill, above.
  • IF USING A SAUTE PAN OR GRIDDLE (PREFERABLY CAST IRON): Heat the oil in the pan or griddle over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Cook the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes for beef and 5 minutes for turkey. Flip over the burgers. Cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare (3 minutes if topping with cheese) or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Cook turkey burgers until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes on the second side.
  • Add the cheese, if using, to the tops of the burgers during the last minute of cooking and top with a basting cover, close the grill cover, or tent the burgers with aluminum foil to melt the cheese.
  • Sandwich the hot burgers between the buns and serve immediately.

'21' CLUB HAMBURGER



'21' Club Hamburger image

When the "21" Club reopened in the spring of 1987, the new menu - not to mention the new décor - was the talk of both the food world and the society that considered the place home. The principal question in food circles about the menu had nothing to do with such elegant fare as breast of guinea hen or lobster. No, it was the direction of the restaurant's "new" hamburger that stirred the most curiosity. Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey went to investigate, and the result was this marvelous, butter-rich recipe for hamburger, one that should take its place in your repertory.

Categories     lunch, burgers, main course

Time 1h20m

Yield One hamburger

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 tablespoons butter at room temperature
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
12 ounces freshly ground choice chuck (preferably with a 22 percent fat content)
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 slices Italian peasant bread, each slice about 1/2 inch in thickness and 5 inches in diameter
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 to 4 thin slices red, ripe tomatoes
2 thin slices red onion
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Combine the butter, chopped thyme, one tablespoon chopped fresh basil and chopped fresh parsley. Blend well. Place the mixture on a rectangle of waxed paper or aluminum foil and roll it into a sausage shape about one inch in diameter. Place in the freezer for an hour or longer, until it is frozen. This butter may be used a portion at a time and refrozen.
  • Preheat a gas or charcoal broiler to high.
  • Shape the meat into a round ball without kneading. With the finger, make a partial indentation through the center of the ball. Shove one frozen tablespoon of butter into the center of the ball and press to close the opening. Flatten the meat into a patty shape about three-quarters of an inch thick. Sprinkle on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the meat on the grill and cook about four minutes until it is well seared on one side; turn the meat and cook about four minutes longer or to the desired degree of doneness.
  • Brush the bread slices on one side with one tablespoon of olive oil. Place the slices oiled side down on the grill and cook briefly until lightly toasted. Turn and cook briefly on the second side.
  • Meanwhile, as the meat cooks, place the tomato and onion slices in a small bowl and sprinkle with the remaining two tablespoons of oil, the lemon juice, salt, pepper and remaining tablespoon of chopped fresh basil. Toss briefly.
  • Place one slice of the warm grilled bread on a dinner plate, place the hamburger in the center and cover with the second slice of bread. Serve the tomato and onion slices on the side to be added to the hamburger as desired. Serve tomato ketchup only on request. The hamburger is also served with freshly cooked gaufrette potatoes on the side.

GOTHAM BAR AND GRILL HAMBURGER



Gotham Bar And Grill Hamburger image

"I use freshly ground trimmed ends from strip steak or chopped sirloin," Alfred Portale, the chef at Gotham Bar & Grill, told Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey of The Times in 1987. "The meat," he continued, "must be seared well so that it is crisp on both sides and moist in the center. We serve the hamburgers on so-called hard - not spongy - buns with a sesame topping and with sliced tomato, onion and leaves of bibb lettuce." The side garnishes were classic dill pickles, pickled green tomatoes and French fries. Portale used 9 ounces of meat for each hamburger. That's a lot. But you can't argue with the finished dish.

Categories     lunch, burgers, main course

Time 20m

Yield One hamburger

Number Of Ingredients 10

9 ounces freshly ground sirloin steak, preferably with a 10 to 15 percent fat content
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 sesame-seed hamburger bun (see note)
1 slice red, ripe tomato
1 1/4-inch thick sliced red onion
1 pickled green tomato
1 small pickled sweet pepper
1 classic dill pickle
French-fried potatoes

Steps:

  • Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to high.
  • Shape the meat loosely, pressing gently without kneading, into a patty about one inch thick and about four and one-half inches in diameter. Season the meat on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Place the meat on the grill and cook three to three and a half minutes on each side for a rare hamburger; four to four and a half minutes on each side for a medium-well hamburger, and five minutes on each side for well-done. A rare hamburger will be soft to the touch; a medium-well, slightly springy, and well done, firm.
  • Toast both bun halves on the cut side until lightly browned. Arrange the bottom half, cut side up, on a dinner plate. Place the meat on top and cover with a slice of tomato and slice of onion. Cover with the other half of the bun. Garnish with pickled green tomato, pickled sweet pepper, classic dill pickle and french fries. Serve with tomato ketchup on the side.
