provalone and a nicely aged cheddar.
the middle half of the onion was gone, it was just the right amount.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

General consensus so far are these king Arthur flour burger buns. I made them successfully and I can't bake for poo poo. They are pretty worthy if you don't like the super light brioche or whatever: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/beautiful-burger-buns-recipe

Cheeseburger from Husk in Nashville. This was by loving far the best burger I've had in my life.


Hi burg thread. Why the hell are you on page two!? Shameful. Anyway, I'm quotin this cuz Sean Brock's cookbook, Heritage, has a recipe for this burg and I got a craving for it.



Here's my attempt. Did a rough grind of chuck with a bit of flank and a tiny bit of bacon mixed in, 3 oz patties cooked on a flat top in rendered beef fat smashed style, shaved onion under the cheese, Brock's burg sauce on top and bottom of a potato roll. Wedges were parboiled in vinegared and salted water, dried off, dusted with seasoned cornstarch and wok fried.

So drat good. I think I got it like 95% as good as the restaurant's.

So I've been wondering about how safe it is to eat burgers rare or medium rare, or even medium, when prepared from supermarket ground beef? I'm talking about the the shrink wrap plastic tray product you'd get from WalMart and such. I've found them pretty good for burgers on the cheap.

I'm getting into preparing my own burger mixes after borrowing a friend's grinder once and trying out different recipes. (I've settled on a mix of shortrib, oxtail, and chopped up braised beef tendon. I find it :perfect:) And as I understand it, as long as the beef you put in is good quality and fresh, eating it rare is no problem, right?

Could the same be said for pre-packaged ground beef?

Proust Malone

Any piece of the meat that has been exposed to the air should be considered contaminated and should be cooked to 165 at least. Steaks you can get away with rare because you're still cooking the outside past the danger zone. With ground meat the whole thing is germ ville.

You're probably not going to die though. Go nuts.

yeah when ground beef gets... ground... the bacteria on the surface of the original steak gets mixed in. if the middle of the meat gets above 40, that bacteria starts growing. i still do make burgs mid-mid rare sometimes but just know the risks.

This is slightly off topic, on a similar note - what's the deal with beef tartare being served raw then? I realize it's (supposed to be) hand cut rather than run through a grinder, but it's still mixed generally which would have the same effect. Is it not supposed to get above 40 between the kitchen and being eaten?

Personally, I've fine eating a medium burger at any reputable place. Mid rare is a bit too much for me on burgers because of the texture, but I'm generally not a huge fan of tartare for the same reasons.

Edit: Kinda figured as much, that makes sense.

The difference there is it's generally being prepared from a fresh cut stored under controlled conditions and served immediately. Even if it warms up, there simply isn't time for anything to grow.

With supermarket ground beef, it's generally ground in bulk, which gives bacteria time to multiply a bit even if they don't immediately produce any kind of toxins. You just can't have as tight control over the meat's exposure and conditions as you can with a single dish prepared by an expert.

I made all my burgs at home med rare. But I'm a also grinding good quality chuck and other cuts that have had limited surface/air exposure.

I go medium when I eat out cuz im not a fan of food poisoning.

I go medium when I eat out, mainly because I don't know how loose the restaurant's patty is going to be. A loosely packed medium rare burger is not really something I enjoy. Maybe I'm lucky, but I always cook medium rare burgers at home and I don't think any of them have made me sick.

I should have taken pics but we burged. Very simple, was kinda tired of burgs with too much stuff - salt and pepper on the beef, a proper smashed pair of patties for each burg with some sliced cheddar between and nothing on but bacon, sauteed onions and lettuce. That's it.

Well, and some dijon mustard. Man, they were loving great.

IMO sidestep the issue entirely by just making a smashed burger, by the time it gets a good sear it will cook it all the way through and will remain juicy because it never stayed on the heat long enough to dry out. Cooking to doneness is for steaks, where the characteristics of the meat can actually be preserved by virtue of not being sent through a grinder.

Yup. If you crush your burgs like I do and the patties are maybe 1/3 of an inch thick, doneness isn't really an issue.
