Burgers are a comfort food for many people around the world. A juicy meat patty nestled between soft buns, served with fresh, crisp vegetables, makes for the perfect lazy-day meal, especially when freshly prepared at home. Read on to avoid ruining the burgers you grill yourself!
Summertime is grilling season, and while grilling meat seems straightforward, making a truly great burger requires precision. Here are eight common mistakes to avoid when preparing an unforgettable burger:
1.Buying cheap and inferior-quality beef.
Always go for high-quality, freshly ground beef with at least 20% fat content. This ensures the best-tasting patty.
2.Over-seasoning the patty.
Good-quality meat doesn’t need an overload of herbs and spices. Adding too many ingredients like onion, sauce, or herbs can overwork the meat, warming and emulsifying it, which turns a perfect patty into a rubbery piece of meat.
3.Forgetting to create a dimple in the center.
Beef patties shrink and expand when cooked. To maintain their shape, form a thick slab of raw meat and press down slightly in the center to create a dimple.
4.Cooking at a low temperature.
Cook your burger over high heat to get a perfect sear without burning it. High heat ensures a nice, juicy patty.
5.Smashing the patty too hard.
