Looks pale and awful. Buy better "beef", and season it with copious salt, on the outside.

Don't fuck with it and mix it around a bunch. It's not a meatloaf, you're just going to end up with a bunch of tangled connective tissues that ruin the texture when it cooks. Form the patty and season the outside. Maybe form two thin patties and place a slice of cheese and some fresh herbs in the middle if you insist on cooking it medium or above, which you probably should do with questionable British "beef".

Salt and a proper sear. I like to do a reverse sear even for burgers. Bake them in a 300F/150C oven until almost done to your likeness, then preheat a pan over highest heat on the stove and let it heat up for 3-5 minutes and use it to just sear the burgers. The high heat adds a lot of flavor.

This. Here's what you do for proper black people burgers.

Buy the absolute cheapest beef, preferably the stuff that comes in a tube, but make sure it's at or near expiration date so it's discounted even more, because you can't afford any better on welfare.
Now, dump and entire bottle of Crystal hot sauce in it and mix it up with your unwashed hands.
Cook them until they're black and dry. Serve with a copious amount of ketchup.

only add salt to the outside of the patty right before cooking, dont mix it in there as it breaks down the proteins and will make it spongy. also capers are disgusting so that probably didn't help.

also if you can't cook a burger on the stove alone, it's probably too thick. you want to maximize the maillard reaction. if you're wanting to eat a fat burger, use 2 thinner patties instead of one thick one.

>> No.11216410

>>11216354
>What the fuck did I do wrong?
Several things:
1) what cut of meat did you get?
2) Dry spices like salt and pepper are OK for mix-ins. Wet stuff? No. The problem is that the cooking times don't match the cooking times of the meat. Leave them out. If you want onions and capers then use them as toppings, not mix-ins. I prefer to use no mix-ins at all. I do season the outside of the patty with S&P only.
3) Searing is good. The patty should have a noticeable crust on it.
4) Finishing in the oven? No. Keep it on the griddle. Just turn the heat down. Cook it mid rare or medium. Rare is a bad idea because the meat has an unpleasant, pasty, texture. More than medium and you start losing flavor and getting a hard texture. Certainly don't cover it in foil for finishing--that traps moisture which will fuck up your good seared crust.
>>oak smoked cheddar
I love good cheddar, but it's a bit too firm for a cheeseburger. Also the flavor can easily be too strong. If you must use that cheese then use a very thin slice. You want to use a soft melty cheese. You can go fancy like raclette, taleggio, fontina, brie, etc or use the culinary abortion known as processed cheese. Yeah it usually sucks, but it's excellent for cheeseburgers. Let's be honest, that's really it's only legit use. But damn is it a good one.

Oh, and don't forget to toast your buns on the griddle using some of the drippings from the burgers.

150g of 80/20 ground sirloin in a pan.
Turn on heat to medium.
Season both sides with salt and pepper
5-6 minutes per side depending on your desired level of doneness after you hear it start sizzling.
Top with the mildest cheese you can stand since you're just looking for the texture and fat, turn off the heat and let the cheese soften while you slice the bun and get your toppings out.

Season your patty properly.
Don't buy into salt & pepper on the outside only. IMO it's shit advice that's been going around for too long. Your burger should be seasoned throughout. If you're only seasoning the outside of the formed patty, what do you think the other 80% of your patty is going to taste like? Bland as fuck.

Any time I make burgers now I gently separate and lay out the ground meat on a cutting board, and season it evenly. Salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika. Mix and form the patties without smooshing them too much. Apply more salt and pepper on the outside before transferring to a hot pan with a bit of oil. 80/20 or higher fat content is nicer IMO because you can form a bit of a crust without drying out the inside. 85/15 is okay, but temps should be lower.

It's pretty hard to make cheap ground beef taste good, even with a bunch of spices and shit you'll still taste the cheap beefiness and it won't taste as would expect . Don't listen to the salt and pepper only retards, they are they same people who hate any drink that isn't water and own only one pan that is cast iron. The truth is, the salt and pepper thing only works with quality ingredients and still is not optimal in a lot of cases.

When I only have cheap ground beef I mince a little of smoked bacon and add it to the mix, it will improve the flavor and mask the cheap taste of cheap ground beef. Add salt, pepper, garlic paste and whatever else you like there.

With beef the best option will always be just to buy better quality meat, no amount of preparation trickery or spices will improve cheap beef too much

I never made that claim. We have a handful of well-regarded restaurants here but we're far from trendsetting (unless you count shit-tier fast food). Then again no other modern nation is either. It's all a long string of influence from foreign invaders and other forms of cultural exchange.

As for bubble and squeak, the name is certainly unique but I don't think anyone has a claim on frying up leftovers. When I was in University my roommate (from Singapore) cooked basically the same thing. Apparently they call it a "Garbage Plate" there. The rednecks I knew called it a fryup.

Aside from the social connotations of "beef good horse bad" is there any real downside to horse vs beef?

There was a health scare related to that scandal. Horses are often treated with a drug called "Bute" (I don't recall what it's full formal chemical name is). That drug is not safe for human consumtion. So the worry was that if any of the horses which ended up in the food had been treated with it then there could be risk to people.

And there's the usual gripe that's simple inaccuracy. If I pay for A but you give me B instead that's fraud; it doesn't matter if B is "just as good", the point is that its not the same thing that was advertised.

I've got no problem eating horse, just call it what it is. And make sure that it is safe for human consumption.

The only beef which has been bred for flavor alone is wagyu.

Most beef is bred for a combination of factors: docile behavior, disease resistance, ability to handle the local climate, and the biggest of them all: fast growth and feed conversion efficiency. Flavor is a minor factor for most beef cattle, and certainly not for "Factory farmed".

Rule number 1: Minimal handling. You only handle the meat enough to form it into a patty.

If you want to mix anything into the meat, buy meat that hasn't been ground and grind it yourself adding whatever crap you want to mix in while grinding it. Do this to avoid overhandling the meat.

Rule 2: When cooking do not press down on the meat. It will force the juices to run out and you get the hockey puck you richly deserve for pressing down on it.

Rule 3: When finished, let it rest for about 5 to 10 minutes before putting it on a bun and eating it. I use the time to wash my cooking utensils and toast the bun.

The problem is that adding other things to the meat does NOT make sense, unless you're talking dry spices.

There's a fair amount of this but there's also the fact that criminals that will do this are definitely not going to take the trouble to make sure the meat is safe to eat.
You're basically getting mystery meat, you wouldn't eat it if you had any sense because who the fuck knows how it was raised, butchered etc. Beef, even supermarket beef, is produced in a trackable supply chain with all sorts of regulation and inspection to make it safe to eat.

I've eaten horse a bit in Mongolia, it's fine and not that different to beef really but that was intended for human consumption. Who the fuck knows what was done with the horse that was thrown into Europe's beef, or where that horse meat came from.
