recipes now let's get started
to make the best barbecue burger you have to start with a good cut of meat I
got these nice prime rib steaks I'm just gonna start by give them a rinse under
cold water a lot of times they're cut with a bandsaw so there might be bone
shavings in here so just give it a good rinse and then Pat it dry with paper
towel once the steak is washed and patted dry you can see we got a nice
meat to fat ratio you're looking around 70 to 30% so this is actually perfect
and we're looking to shoot for the burgers for around 1/2 pound 8 ounces
maybe 10 so this is a little bit of extra me just start by simply slicing it
into thin slices and a good trick is to have the meat very very cold fresh out
of the fridge so if it starts to get hard to cut just pop it back in the
fridge once you have the beef sliced and the bone remove simply start cubed there
chopping it try and get out these thicker chunks place it in a pile going
across there slicing and chopping you can see that the beef is almost starting
to look like ground beef that you see in the store a little bit fatter chunks
because it's not squeezed through an extruder but now it's time to season so
generous salt and pepper and some garlic powder keep it nice and simple if you
have a favorite burger recipe feel free to use that or your favorite type of
bottled spice or barbecue rub anything will work use what you like to taste to
season the burger once it sees them just gonna mix all the spices and because the
the meats feel cold but we want it as cold as possible I'm just gonna
incorporate the seasoning toss it into a bowl and let it sit in the fridge for
about 5 to 10 minutes best way to get the same size burgers is by using a
kitchen scale so there's a little shy of a pound of meat it's about fifteen point
eight grams in there so just gonna make these burgers just a hair under
half a pound seven point eight ounces here just using a small plate for the
sheet of parchment paper on it and an a grain to form the patty if you have a
burger press anything like that it will be fine to use it this is just a
little easier for everyone to see and when you put the meat in here and
just kind of want to make it even and get it all in there first and what get
drop over here and you don't want to press it in too too hard you want to
want to press it in got a nice circle don't press it too hard and then just
take the egg ring off it and we got our burger nice and loose they'll be nice a
whole bunch of little air pockets in there the juices will sit in there we
just packed with flavor so just go on do the exact same thing with the next one
here all right so it's on the ring just spread it out try and get it nice and
even and just don't pack it too hard nice and firm but good good pull the
ring off just pushing the edges down a little bit now you want to place these
in the fridge keep them nice and cold so they keep their shape every good burger
needs a good sauce so I'm gonna show you qinger secret beef sauce
it's simple four ingredients Mayo horseradish Worcestershire sauce and
some black pepper this is gonna accentuate the beef flavors well making
it creamy and rich once you get a nice and mixed cover it place it in the
fridge let the flavors mingle until the burgers really put the burgers I'll be
using the weber 22 inch charcoal barbecue fueled by royal hardwood lump
charcoal this recipe can be cooked on any barbecue and I'll show you how to
get everything set up an easy way to get your barbecue set up
is placing the charcoal on a see pattern about three inches hide around the
outside of the barbecue wall
place a fire cube at one end of the charcoal simply light it up once your
barbecue is going add a little bit of wood for some extra smoke flavor
these are hickory wood chips no need to soak them or anything just throw them
right on get the lid on get the temperature stabilized to 225 and then
we'll get the burgers on with the barbecue coming up to temp and smoking
away it's time to get these burgers on so they're nice and cold out of the
fridge so they stay together place them on and as they start cooking
the juices in the meat will all help hold them together so get the lid on
we'll come back out and check on them in a few minutes after 10 minutes of
cooking time sitting just over 225 let's crack it open take a peek and see the
burgers are nicely smoking away fires still going smoking
get the lid on after 20 minutes here's a quick peek pop these open eight burgers
are looking good
still get quite a bit of wood smoking away it's gonna go in with a third pin
here hook it right into the middle see where temps sitting at toppings are
ready let's go get that cast-iron skillet fired up on the barbecue with
the burgers ready to sear take them off just lift them off to the side and then
spread out the unlit charcoal placing it right on top of the stuff that's already
burning give that a minute to get the nation lit place a cast-iron skillet
over the hot coals and a little bit of butter and some onions now as the
charcoal heats up I'll be able to cook our onions toss the mushrooms in at the
end and when it's ready to sear we'll just move the burgers over
then cooking that the charcoal going nice and hot so we'll sear these burgers
and get the Mach 1 is we get a nice color club it's time to do the burgers
get a nice crust on the outside to do that we got the hot bed of coals there
simply just move the burgers over
not the best for visuals but I want to just put the lid on to reduce flare up
because there is quite a bit of fat in these burgers
I'm gonna let them cook around two minutes with the lid on and take it over
and split it over burgers are sizzling away and it smells great
check these
for the ones who can top it with some cookies
get the lid on it stop where it's just got the onions and mushrooms in there
still Sifl on the way for the bun just a fresh bakery style Kaiser with a light
toast now there's another minute cheese is
melted and these burgers are ready to come off
go get them topped off for the one without cheese going for more of a
steakhouse flavor so I got my creamy horseradish King Gregor sauce mixed up
here I'm gonna place it on the top and bottom just take the burger you can see
it's nice and juicy stripping with juices that's all flavor then just gonna
take some of these onions and mushrooms we grilled up its hopper right
boom that looks good so you gonna keep this one nice and simple look at that a
nice juicy burger now if I didn't have the camera and was filming this would
all be done a lot quicker and none of this would be on your plate so burgers
down classic lettuce
Tomatoes global what will get on there and a few onions top the top bun with
some of that burger sauce now in ketchup mustard relish whatever you like to
taste but this nice creamy horseradish just brings the beef flavor out there
you go now check these burgers over folks

for the steakhouse theme got that creamy horseradish sauce sauteed mushrooms and
onions on a delicious local fresh bakery Kyser now the moment of truth slice it

everything so look at that mmm let's cut open the steakhouse
