Juicy Grilled Burger - You Suck at Cooking (episode 159)

you suck at cooking yeah you totally suck summer is here and now that it lasts for 11 months it's important to learn how to grill a burger because there's nothing like standing in front of a hot fire on a hot day to help you get through these trying times Burger has the word urgency which is why a burger craving is called a birch said no one ever until now unlike a Smash Burger which gets its flavor through violence the grilled Burger gets its flavor through Grill in it on a barbecue with fire beef is one of the top eight ingredients of a good burger but there are different schools of thought on how to prepare it on the one end of the spectrum you have people adding eggs spices and salt before cooking and mixing it into the beef to maximize the flavor on the other end of the spectrum you have purists leaving the beef alone in a dark certified salt-free room to meditate for hours and that's the approach we'll take secrets to a juicy burger include don't use extra lean beef get 20 fat or more which comes from a butcher don't overwork the beef don't squeeze it on the the grill don't overcook it and don't sprinkle it with Diane's extra dry Burger powder use Louise's extra juicy dry Burger powder we're going with around 1 3 pound or so and we're going to make this Patty a bit bigger than the bun because it's gonna shrink I know I shouldn't touch this beef against the raw bun but I'm gonna cook it hot enough that there won't be any raw gluten left now the other thing you want to do is put a divot in the Patty this isn't because you like your burger with a thick it's because as the Patty shrinks the middle will bulge so we're preemptively anti-bulging it so it will end up flat just like the Earth putting raw onion on your burger is about as enjoyable as blasting pepper spray directly into your open mouth not to Kink shame so we're going to cut a thick slab brush it with some oil and throw it on the grill and then you want to cook this until the pepper spray effect is downgraded to a harsh mint level of abrasiveness I'm making a spicy relish with two parts pickles to one part pickled jalapenos to around a teaspoon or so of ketchup this adds a touch of spicy sweetness and I invented this myself so please give me praise since we have two pickled things here make sure none of the jalapenos are still shaped like a zero or all the flavor will get canceled now we're gonna make the perfect burger sauce we'll take two tablespoons of mayo Perfect all right we'll add in just a dollop of hot sauce to give it some extra flavor and just a little bit of Dijon for yet another flavor Dimension the burger sauce Dimension if you want something to counteract the power of the beef try the flimsiest daintiest lettuce and all the land Boston bib lettuce lots of strong feelings about tomatoes out there and if you feel that they are us and then your feelings are correct we're gonna cook these burgers with fire the way cave people did over a thousand years ago we've let our grill heat up to medium hot we'll season the burgers with flavor glitter and pepper pepper pepper on both sides then we're gonna brush with the slightest bit of oil so the Burger doesn't stick like beef tape you can also Rembrandt the grill directly if you prefer to burn your hands and start an oil fire maybe so do this when the grill is cold please burgers are going on and we're gonna let that cook with the lid closed so that the burger starts to come together and will remain in one piece despite my powerful flipping muscles make sure the temperature doesn't get too high or the this might happen then you have to call the fire department and tell them an intruder broke into your yard and started grilling to avoid embarrassment which is more embarrassing because then you're admitting you don't even know karate I'm starting with four minutes each side and then we'll just see do use a timer because mental grilling time is nothing like real Universe time I'm using my thermometer to make sure it's cooked to a perfect 160 degrees he said for liability purposes but if you're medium curious I've got more info for you below a minute before they're done I'm slapping on some cheese flaps we're gonna toast our bun a bit to create a crusty SOG resistant barrier you can also do this in a pan with a few drops of water if you want a hard bottom with a soft top before you start putting on your toppings make a checklist to make sure you don't forget anything make sure you put extra sauce at the edge of the bun so it will squeeze out and look good in the thumbnail we'll keep the Burger on the bun by using the power of gravity make sure you have onions hanging out of the sides for the same reason as the sauce go buck wild with that amazing relish wow who came up with that and only include one slice of lettuce so that the lettuce haters don't have too much to complain about same for the Tomato We'll add a little flavor glitter and then once again you want sauce dripping out that top bun because sauce and there you have a thick juicy burger bulging to the absolute brink of burgerness ready to satiate your birds that's
