Perfect burger patties

Only fresh meat is suitable for a burger, the ratio of meat to fat should be approximately 8:2. It is best to prepare the mince yourself. When choosing beef by softness, you need to understand the basic principles: the less the muscle is involved in movement, the softer it is. The softest and most expensive are considered to be fillet parts - tenderloin, thick and thin edge. For ground beef, both the shoulder and neck are ideal. How to make perfect burger patties - in a step-by-step recipe.

How to cook Perfect burger patties

Step 1

Perfect burger patties

Prepare the mince for frying. Add freshly ground pepper to the mince. Mix everything thoroughly and then put it in the refrigerator. To make it easier to form the cutlets, the mixture should be cold.

Step 2

Perfect burger patties

Make blanks from minced meat. Form cutlets no more than 2 cm high and slightly larger in diameter than the bun, as the size of the product will decrease during frying. For this, you can use a special press; at home, you can also form a cutlet using a culinary ring.

Step 3

Perfect burger patties

Start frying the hamburger patties. Grease a grill pan with a little oil and heat it up. Place the patties on the hot surface, add salt and cook for 3 minutes over medium heat. Turn the burger patties over, add salt and fry in the pan for another 5 minutes. Then remove the patty from the heat and immediately place it on the bun.

Perfect burger patties - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, ground turkey or chicken can be substituted for beef. Just note that leaner meats may dry out faster, so consider adding a bit of olive oil or breadcrumbs to retain moisture.
Uncooked burger patties can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Keep them covered or wrapped tightly in plastic to prevent drying.
Absolutely! Simply ensure all ingredients, such as seasonings, are gluten-free. You can also bind the patties with gluten-free breadcrumbs or an egg if needed.
Freeze uncooked patties by placing them on a parchment-lined tray, then transferring to a freezer bag once solid. Reheat cooked patties in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
Replace the meat with a blend of mashed beans, lentils, or a store-bought vegetarian patty mix. Season similarly and adjust cooking times as needed.
Cold minced meat holds its shape better, making it easier to form patties that won’t fall apart during cooking.
Yes, a regular skillet works fine. Just ensure it’s well-heated and lightly oiled to prevent sticking and achieve a good sear.
Try classic toppings like cheese, lettuce, tomato, and pickles, or get creative with caramelized onions, avocado, or a spicy aioli for extra flavor.
