Burger Time with George

Hamburger is the most popular food for the grill, followed by steak and chicken.
1 out of every 5 times Americans fire up the grill to cook a hamburger
If ever there was the purist dish gone bad it’s the Hamburger! Why? Simply, there are so many
variations and ways to prepare and go wrong.
Start with the meat, typically it’s beef. My preference is for at least 83-85% lean ground
round. No need for sirloin, all the fixins and condiments will
overpower the flavor of the meat. Since the meat is ground it should
be prepared within 24 hours, or pre-make your patties and wrap with
film and freeze. Defrost for 24 hours in the refrigerator before
grilling.
For the purist you can always grind your own meat. The benefit is
knowing exactly what type of meat and the true ratio of fat to meat.
Just keep everything well iced including placing the grinder blades in
the freezer prior to the big grind.
