The Grind

Most important part of any burger is the patty. This is my go to grind. 1lb brisket 1lb chuck 1lb short rib The brisket adds enough fat to keep the burger juicy. The chuck adds a great strip steak flavor and the short ribs add a sweetness to tie it all together. Recipe: Makes (8) 6oz patties First thing you want to do is chill the meat in the freezer for a half an hour. This makes for easier cutting as the meat firms up. Take the meat out of the freezer and cut it all into 1 inch cubes. Once it is cut up, put the meat back in the freezer for another half an hour. Set up your meat grinder. I use a kitchenAid with the meat grinder attachment and coarse blade. Take your meat out of the freezer and turn your KitchenAid on between a speed of 6-8. You want to grind the meat fast so you don't add any extra heat to the meat. We want to keep it as cold as possible. Start putting your meat through the grinder until it is all ground up. Mix it to get a homogenous distribution of fat and meat. Change to the fine blade on your KitchenAid. Put all the ground up meat through the grinder one more time. Once all the meat is ground up a second time you can begin to form the patties. I divide it into (8) 6oz patties and use a burger press to form the patties. If you don't have a burger press just for them by hand. They will be great either way.

grinding meat

alright, in light of my recent paleo ways, and these types of articles about pink slime in our ground beef (honestly, it's just the ammonia part that throws me off. the pink slime in my mcdonalds nuggets didn't even bother me), i've decided to invest in my own meat grinder.

i know what you're thinking- what? there's no need for that.  that sounds like too much work, etc.

i agree, but after seeing contestants fumbling with meat grinders on Worst Cooks of America, i realized it wasn't as difficult or complicated as i had originally thought.

so i did a little bit of research, and by research i mean i typed in "meat grinder" into the amazon search bar.  actually, i didn't even type in both words, just "meat" was enough to get "meat grinder" to be suggested.  this meat grinder came up at the top of the list with a very reasonable price and good customer ratings.  it turns out this grinder can also be used for making sausage, pasta, and also for grinding up seeds and vegetables!  perfect.  i will be purchasing one the next time my bank account allows for an extra little splurge...
