High-end Hamburger

1. 1

   I have a grinder attachment for my mixer that I used for this recipe but a small food processor also works.

2. 2

   Put the 1 pound of flat iron steak (which is a small upgrade from the portion of the chuck that is usually used in ground beef) through a grinder or pulse for about a minute in the food processor.

3. 3

   Add a tablespoon of soy sauce and ground black pepper to taste.

4. 4

   Divide the pound of meat into 4 patties and grill or fry over medium to medium high heat to your desired level of doneness.

5. 5

   For medium doneness, it should take about 3-5 minutes per side and is done when the internal temperature reaches 165F.

6. 6

   I have been using a cast-iron skillet for these it does a good job of putting a nice crust on the hamburger without killing the inside of the patty.

7. 7

   I was surprised at the difference created by upgrading the meat quality.

8. 8

   I have since continued to experiment with the idea, but I found that although most of the other higher end cuts make great hamburgers they are actually better as a steak or roast.
