I am planning on grinding my own burger meat tomorrow. I just got a kitchen aid upright mixer and I also have the meat grinder attachment. I eat many burgers, and have never tried to grind my own. Just posting here to see if any one has a better ratio than this recipe.
Alton Brown : Burger of the gods
Ingredients
* 8 ounces chuck, trimmed, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
* 8 ounces sirloin, trimmed, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
* 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
In separate batches, pulse the chuck and the sirloin in a food processor 10 times. Combine the chuck, sirloin, and kosher salt in a large bowl. Form the meat into 5-ounce patties.
Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Place the hamburger patties in the pan. For medium-rare burgers, cook the patties for 4 minutes on each side. For medium burgers, cook the patties for 5 minutes on each side. Flip the burgers only once during cooking.
