Beef patties


Are you a fan of burgers? If so, there's nothing quite like the taste of a juicy, homemade beef patty. Making your own patties from scratch is not only delicious, but also allows you to control the quality of the ingredients and customize the flavor to your liking.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg / 2.2 lb Brisket
    • I make a mix of 80% lean meat and 20% brisket fat.
  • Salt
  • Pepper


Equipment

  • Chef Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Meat Grinder
  • Wax Paper
  • Press
  • Tray

1. Cut the meat into small pieces and place them in the freezer for about 20 minutes. This will make them firm and easier to grind.

2. Allow the plates and bowl of your meat grinder to chill in the freezer as well, as this will help you achieve a smoother texture when grinding the meat.

4. Grind the meat using a coarse plate for a crumbly texture.
For a more even texture when using lean meat and fat, I like to grind the meat twice.

5. Prepare a press by lining it with wax paper.
I'm using 18 cm by 40 cm / 7 in by 15 in pieces of paper.

Tips

  • Beef patties can last in the refrigerator for about 2 days. They can also be stored in a zip-top bag in the freezer for about 3 months.
  • You can season your ground beef with a variety of condiments to enhance the flavor. Mustard, parsley, garlic, and onion are all excellent choices. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite flavor profile.
