Si, I know. I have been gone too long. Let me ask everyone this; does anyone else get lazy blogging. It happened to me! Forgiveness, please! I will try my best to blog more frequently.
So the topic heading may sound peculiar. Remember Popeye's friend, wimpy? He loved Hamburgers! you know what? I do too! I can't think of anything more desirable at any given time of the year, than a hot, juicy burger, no?
Let's talk about beef, first. First things first. It probably is the most important ingredient. Some may argue that its the bread, but in the end, people pay for the meat, no?
The best places for burgers is debatable, but let's not discuss that today. We'll save that for another post. Does anyone else think the grade of meat is important? Which is the best combination of cuts? Does it matter? YES! YES! YES!
Although Prime is the king of commercial cuts, Choice and Select would suffice depending on the type of cuts used.I would suggest a combination of lean to fat. Preferably 80 percent lean to 20 percent of fat. A great utilization of fat and meat usage is half beef tenderloin and half skirt steak. Some prefer half chuck and half round. But try to combine tenderloin and skirt steak. I guarantee a quality tasting burger. The best preparation of cooking I prefer the best is a quick cooking method using high heat. Grilling is the method of choice.
Can you smell the grill? Nothing beats the aroma and flavor of a perfectly grilled hamburger! Oh my goodness! I'm so hungry.....I'll continue another day! I'm going to eat a burger!
