Burger Brothers Burger Blend Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for medium-high heat.
• Pulse the sweet potato in a food processor until evenly and finely chopped, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed, about 10 pulses. Transfer to a large bowl. Pulse the mushrooms in the food processor until evenly and finely chopped, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed, about 8 pulses. Add to the sweet potato along with the ground beef, egg, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, then mix with your hands until combined. Form the meat mixture into 4 patties, each about 4 inches in diameter. Season each side with a good pinch of salt and a few good grinds of pepper; set aside.
• Toss the scallions and poblano with the oil. Grill the scallions until lightly charred, turning halfway through with grilling tongs, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. Grill the poblano, turning occasionally, until charred all over and tender, about 8 minutes. Transfer to cutting board. Grill the hamburger buns until lightly toasted and have some grill marks, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a serving platter.
• Brush the grill grates with some oil. Place the patties on the grill and cook, undisturbed (and with the grill uncovered), until the first side has developed nice grill marks, 3 1/2 to 4 minutes. Carefully flip the burgers with a metal spatula and continue to cook until well browned all over, about 2 minutes more. Top each burger with 1 slice of cheese, then cover and cook until the cheese has melted and the burger has reached medium doneness, about 1 minute more. Transfer to the bottom bun halves.
• Thinly slice the scallions and place in a small bowl. Stir in the mayonnaise, lime zest and juice, a good pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Spread the mixture on the top bun halves. Thinly sliced the poblano, then divide among the burgers. Top evenly with the pickled jalapenos and lettuce. Sandwich with the top bun halves.

Steps:

• Heat a griddle or large cast-iron skillet over medium heat for at least 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, mustard and pickle brine in a small bowl. Combine the onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a separate small bowl. Set aside.
• Loosely form the beef into 4 balls; set aside. Working in batches, lightly brush the griddle with butter and toast the buns cut-side down until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Brush the griddle with more butter and add 1 ball of beef. Press firmly with 2 large crisscrossed metal spatulas for exactly 10 seconds, then gently remove the spatulas. Sprinkle the patties with some of the seasoning mixture and continue cooking, undisturbed, until well browned, 1 1/2to 2 minutes. (Start cooking another burger at this point.) Flip the patty, sprinkle with more of the seasoning mixture and top with 1 cheese slice. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted around the edges and the bottom of the burger is browned, about 1 more minute. Repeat with the remaining beef.
• Spread the mayonnaise mixture on the bun tops and add some ketchup. Serve the patties on the buns with the pickles, tomato, red onion and lettuce.

Steps:

• 1. Place the bowl and the blade of your food processor in the freezer for an hour.
• 2. Place the meat cubes on a cookie sheet keeping space between each piece, place the tray in the freezer for 10 minutes, just til the meat is firm but not frozen.
• 3. In a large bowl combine the chilled meats and toss to mix.
• 4. Working in two batches, place the meat cubes in the food processor and pulse until a medium fine grind is achieved, about 8 to 10 1 second pulses. Scrape down the sides of the processor as necessary.
• 5. Use the ground meat immediately or cover the bowl and refrigerate until ready to use. Use in your favorite recipe or use one of my burger recipes.

Steps:

• Place a 9-in. cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, gently shape beef into 4 balls, shaping just enough to keep together (do not compact). , Increase burner temperature to medium-high; add oil. Working in batches, add beef. With a heavy metal spatula, flatten to 1/4- to 1/2-in. thickness; sprinkle each with 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook until edges start to brown, about 1-1/2 minutes. Turn burgers and sprinkle with additional 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook until well browned and a thermometer reads at least 160°, 1 minute. Repeat with remaining beef., Serve burgers on buns with toppings as desired.

Steps:

• In a standing mixer fitted with a dough hook combine the yeast and water, mixing slowly until yeast is dissolved. Stir in salt and sugar. Mix well. Set aside for 5 minutes.
• Beat for 5 minutes, gradually adding flour until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
• Turn out on a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8 to 10 minutes, until dough is smooth and elastic, adding flour as necessary to prevent stickiness.
• Lightly oil a large bowl. Place dough in bowl and turn to coat on all sides. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. Alternatively, cover with plastic wrap and let rise slowly in the refrigerator for 10 to 12 hours or overnight.
• Line a baking sheet with kitchen parchment or sprinkle with cornmeal.
• Punch down the dough. Divide in half, shape into 2 round loaves, and place on the baking sheet. Carve an X in the top of the loaf and spray with vinegar. Place in a cold oven and turn the oven on to 400 degrees F for 45 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, salt and pepper. Place ground beef and bread crumbs into the mixture. With hands or a fork, mix until well blended. Form into 4 patties approximately 3/4 inch thick.
• Place patties on the prepared grill. Cover and cook 6 to 8 minutes per side, or to desired doneness.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Mix ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs, steak sauce, and liquid smoke together in a bowl using your hands. Form mixture into 4 hamburger patties.
• Grill burgers for 5 minutes on the preheated grill. Flip and grill to your desired degree of doneness, about 4 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
• Remove burgers from grill and cover each with a slice of Cheddar cheese. Allow to rest and serve on hamburger buns.
