Just had a $15 dollar burger. Now exploding from bulk beef.

I'm actually not a fan of sous-vide, and doing it on a burger should be sacrilege IMHO

I've done it, then tossed the burgers on the grill to finish them off.

rawness is for steaks. not burgers

For all the haters, here is the proper way to cook a burger: Burgers the Sous-Vide way

No maillard = fail.

Oh, and burgers are perfectly fine served medium from a place that grinds their own burgers. They control the process. Same with making them at home, never cook past medium-rare/medium, you lose all the flavor and juicyness.

many top end eateries would disagree

i do two thinner patties instead of one thick one so i can cook them through more consistently to my liking (somewhere slightly north of medium)

Just finish it on the grill...did you look at the recipe? Granted they use a cast iron skillet...but same thing. Recipe.

"Heat 12-inch heavy-bottomed cast iron or stainless steel skillet over high heat with vegetable oil until oil begins to smoke. Add patties and cook until well browned on first side, about 45 seconds. Flip patties (add cheese as desired) and cook until second side is well browned, about 45 seconds longer. Place patties on buns, top with condiments as desired, and serve."

That's the thing though, if I'm going to a top-end eatery I'm not ordering a burger.

that burger is far from raw.

also a lot of people here seem to think that rare = raw.

lol...raw? seriously


I'm guessing those who can't cook are exposing themselves.

 

[Fritzo]

Burgers are tastiest medium rare. The fear of food poisoning adds excitement. Win-win!

I used to make hamburger----you don't want to eat that stuff rare. Trust me.

steaks @ Morton's start at $40. The burger is $15 w/ a side.

It's seriously such an unbelievable bargain. FFS the key lime pie I bought for dessert was $10! But goddamn Morton's also makes the best KLP I've ever had.

Your quality of product < Morton's quality of product

You hope.

 

[dfuze]

Sounds and looks good, but don't know if I could cough up $14 for a burger

 

[Hacp]

You could get 15 buck doubles at that price.

 

[jiggahertz]

That looks awesome. LOL at people saying that is raw. My grandfather was a butcher. He would grind his own hamburger at home and eat it raw not rare. Of course this was back in the day when men where men.

 

[guyver01]

the pounder at cheeburger cheeburger looks better..

 

[zerocool84]

If a place allows you to get burgers cooked the way you want it, I always get it medium. Tastes better that way.

if i'm going to a top-end eatery (or any restaurant for that matter) i expect my meat cooked to my tastes.

I've ordered a burger at a top-end eatery cus their burgers were highly regarded. Asked me how I wanted it cooked and told them medium. Just because I'm in a fancy/expensive place doesn't mean I'm going to change how I eat my food.

 

[SKORPI0]

You cannot call it bulk beef if it's not alternator sized. Everybody knows this. :hmm:

 

[JEDI]

and it was worth every single goddamn penny.

Morton's Prime Burger @ Annie Morton Steakhouse

Seriously felt like a half pound+ of wet aged ground sirloin, topped with swiss cheese + bacon + mushrooms + grilled onions.

The ground beef was just exploding with...beefiness.

oh man, I think I'm about to pass out.

wait.. u went to a steakhouse and ordered a burger?!!

turn in your man kard!

 

[tranceport]

Looks as big as an alternator.

 

[guyver01]

exploding from bulk beef.

i just looked up the burger...

it's only 3/4 a pound..

not even close to bulk or alternator size.

 

[trmiv]

I think they forgot to grill your onion. Or is that the cheese under the tomato?

 

[Rubycon]

Your white balance is way off, that's not a lighting issue.

I'm thinking it looked more like this in person. 😉

 

[EarthwormJim]

Was it alternator sized?
