This burger sounds terrific and something I would expect from a very nice restaurant. You're fucking crazy if you make your burgers like this at home every time. Duck fat? Irish cream butter?

I do it like that all the time. I grind the meat fresh.

If I cook it on the grill I baste it in Irish cream butter. If it’s in the skillet then I use duck fat.

It really doesn’t take that long.

Egg yolk is key. You don’t want to work and pack the meat too tight. And Eggs act as a binding agent. Yolk protein actually draws moisture in and whites pull moisture out. Yolk only.

There is nothing wrong with using only ground chuck if you don’t have a grinder as long as it’s 80/20. Just mix in flavor like garlic powder, onion powder and even chili flakes. And don’t pack the meat too tight or overwork it while you’re mixing.

You can mix it with sirloin but you need to add fat. Ground chuck already has the fat mixed in. Surprised you didn’t mention the fat. An 80/20 mixture is best.

If you patty and cook it right the juice comes out when you bite into it. The lettuce is there for presentation.

Adding onion and garlic powder is like adding salt and pepper to taste.
The egg yolk keeps the meat together better because you shouldn’t be packing a meat patty tightly.

Mix with onion and garlic powder and an egg yolk.

No, just meat, ground beef holds together perfectly without yolk or over packing.

lettuce on the bottom to protect the bottom bun from the burger juices.

The lettuce is there for presentation.

Pick one stupid idea and stick with it, I will ignore both stupid ideas.

No. The mix I described is the best but also most expensive mix and will give you about 75/25, that goes without saying. Another plus is that you can save the duck fat for where it actually helps, the fries.

The mixture is sirloin, brisket, and short rib. Play with the ratios until you find the right fit for you.

You can replace the sirloin with chuck to save some money, it just won't taste as good.


We don't agree on many things burger related, I'm sure you make a great burger, I just find a lot of your advice is silly, pretentious, and useless.

Irish cream butter and duck fat LOL.

It all comes down to personal preference. I’m sure you enjoy your burgers, and to each his own.

Can I use this thread to make a shocking confession about myself?

I don't like cheese on my burgers at all.

Do you know how difficult that is when going to a standard burger joint? Cheeseburgers are such a default thing for most places that I cannot just order a "hamburger" without specifically stating I don't want cheese on it because I did not ****ing say "cheeseburger". Or if every burger on the menu has cheese...I am now considered some sort of "special order".

I mean are you ****ing kidding me?!?!?

A clear misstep on my part I will expand my list to 6 and add in some sharp cheddar...I am ashamed of myself and will make my self one of these burgers to atone for my sin

I like cheese...I like burgers...I don't like cheeeseburgers.

Life is funny like that.

Probably started with me just not liking the processed garbage they called cheese, but when I got older I got a burger with a quality cheddar that I love on other sandwiches and still hated it on a burger.

It may sound cliche, but I want to taste the beef and cheese messes with that.

Sorry, not sorry.

I used to hang out with a guy that hated tomatoes, but would slather ketchup on hot dog, or dump marina sauce on his pasta.
