Burger Patties

Method

Preparation of Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Meat

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the Angus Prime beef and brisket. Season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Gently mix the meat until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.

  3. 3

    Shape Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, slightly larger than the burger buns as they will shrink while cooking.

Cooking the Burgers

  1. 4

    Cook Patties

    Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patties on the skillet.

  2. 5

    Add Cheese and Flip

    Cook each patty for about 3-4 minutes on the first side until a crust forms. Flip the patties and place a slice of American cheese on top of each.

  3. 6

    Finish Cooking

    Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

Burger Assembly

  1. 7

    Prepare Veggies

    While the burgers are cooking, slice the white onion and tomato.

  2. 8

    Prepare Buns

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each burger bun.

  3. 9

    Assemble Burgers

    Once the burgers are cooked, place each patty on the mayo-spread bun. Top with sliced onions, tomatoes, pickles, and a handful of shredded cabbage.

  4. 10

    Serve

    Place the top half of the bun on each burger and serve immediately.
