THE PERFECT SUMMER HAMBURGER RECIPE



The Perfect Summer Hamburger Recipe image

I had been using variations of hamburger recipes i found on here with no success until one day i made my hamburger meat in the same bowl as my olive oil and herb oven fries. The result was a hamburger so moist and delicious i have been using this recipe ever since. The simple ingredients bring out the flavor in the meat without overpowering it. The recipe uses fresh herbs which can always be substituted for dry if needed.

PERFECT BURGER

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.

1 dash pepper
1 lb lean ground beef
4 hamburger buns, split

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ground beef. The quality of the beef will make a big difference in the flavor of your burgers. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean, and make sure it is fresh and not frozen.
  • Season the beef simply. Salt and pepper are all you need to season the beef. Don't add any other spices or herbs, as they will overpower the flavor of the beef.
  • Form the burgers gently. Don't overwork the beef, as this will make the burgers tough. Just gently form the beef into patties that are about 3/4-inch thick.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help to prevent the burgers from drying out. Cook the burgers for about 4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
  • Top the burgers with your favorite toppings. Cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and onion are all classic burger toppings. But you can also get creative and add other toppings, such as avocado, pineapple, or mushrooms.

Conclusion:

The perfect summer hamburger is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your burgers are juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. So fire up the grill and enjoy!
