Grinding Your Burgers From Scratch = Perfect Results

We’re in a time where it’s quite easy to brainlessly walk into the supermarket, pick up a processed tray of meat and head to the checkout. A lot of the time we don’t know where the meat has come from, or whether it is actually what it says it is.

It’s not even two years ago that the infamous horse meat scandal in the UK was worldwide news. Supermarket giant Tesco were selling horse meat to unwary customer who thought that they were buying beef.

It’s time to wise up a little and start to take control of what we’re eating. It doesn’t cost very much more and it tastes a hell of a lot better too.

The obvious way to buy meat is to visit your local butchers. Almost a forgotten trade in recent times, which is sad as once upon a time, not too long ago they were the center point of towns and cities across the world.

It’s a common misconception that the butchers will cost you more, it’s not as cheap as the supermarket. Prices rarely differ too much from what you’d pay at the local supermarket, but the quality of meat is unquestionably better. Your butcher like his father before him knows the industry of meat better than anyone and knows what’s right for you.

An honest opinion from a professional and a sense of old times is achievable still. Butchers are slowly fading away across the US as supermarkets import meat from around the world at plummeting prices. Show them you support their honest trade and hard work while you still can.

So back to the grind (pun intended). Save yourself a little money and avoid buying already ground meat. There’s a good chance the fat to meat ratio will be a little off the recommended 80 meat: 20 fat.

When it comes to buying meat for burgers, it’s important to choose the right cuts. The harder working areas ten to be coarser and a lot more suitable for those rich, tasty burgers we’re looking for. Avoid the delicate (and more expensive) cuts such as filets, rib eye or strip as in all honesty, it’s just a waste of money, you’re looking for the cuts from the front and the back. Especially if you’re cooking for a larger crowd, save the money for something to further supplement the event *cough* “beer” *cough*.

Chuck is the obvious choice for burgers. Marbled throughout with that gorgeous, moisture locking fat pieces, this is a great place to start. If you want to add some other cuts in there to really start mixing and sorting through an array of flavors then try cuts of brisket, sirloin, top round or even boneless short rib.

For the grounding, you’re going to need either a hand crank meat grinder or a professional meat grinder which could set you back a couple of hundred dollars. The more laborious hand cranking grinders don’t just ground your meat sufficiently, but you’ll also have biceps like Popeye after. A workout before you chow down on homemade beef burgers isn’t the worst idea!

Prepping the meat isn’t hard either. Simply chill the meat down in the freezer for around 30 minutes before it’s time to chop and grind. You don’t want the meat frozen, it needs to be chilled and firm though. It’s also worth mentioning that any detachable grinder pieces should go into the freezer for just as long as they tend to heat up as they start to work. Chop your cuts of beef up in to cubes of around one inch. This makes them a perfect size for the grinder.

That’s it! You’ve successfully prepared your ground beef ready for the grill. There’s nothing quite like a burger off the barbecue that you made yourself. Your hard work and effort only increases the satisfaction that your friends and family get out of such exquisite homemade beef burgers.
