My Ultimate Burger!

Ahh.. You just can't go wrong when you have burgers topped with lotsa cheese and crispy onion ring, can ya? haha.. Well, this is our ULTIMATE HOMEMADE BEEF BURGER.. Well, ultimate according to us laa.. kalau orang lain, tak tahu la pula.. These patties are tender and juicy and succulent. So, today, I am gonna put up the recipe for these delectable, (though maybe not THAT appealing to the eyes), yummylicious homemade pattties which is the main and important thing when making burgers.. So, here goes..

HOMEMADE BEEF PATTIES

Bahan-bahan:

1 kg daging cincang

2 biji bawang holland / bawang bombay - didaduk kecil

lada hitam

jintan manis

jintan putih

ketumbar

serbuk paprika

dried oregano

kicap manis

sos worchestershire

breadcrumbs

1 biji telur

sedikit tepung jagung

Cara-caranya:

1. Lada hitam, jintan manis, jintan putih dan ketumbar disangai kering atas api kecil kemudian ditumbuk halus. Lebih mudah dan cepat jika ada grinder. Sukatan agak-agak la ye.. Mungkin boleh cuba dalam setengah sudu besar bagi setiap rempah. Boleh juga kalau nak pakai yang siap serbuk tapi kurang sedap laa..
2. Masukkan semua bahan termasuk rempah ratus yang ditumbuk halus tadi. Gaul sehingga semua bahan mesra dan sebati. Bentukkan menjadi beef patties.
3. Sebaiknya disimpan di dalam peti sejuk lebih kurang 15 - 30 minit sebelum dimasak. Boleh juga disejukbekukan untuk dijadikan stok.

These link, link and link here provide articles on what you should and shouldn't do to get good burgers.. Well, my 2-cents advice would be to use them as a guideline, but hey.. whatever works for you and your family, should be A-ok.. For example, I would imagine 80-20 lean meat/fat ratio would give a tremendous, juicy and succulent result for your burgers.. But I figure if you cook them right, you'd get magnificent burgers with some cheap lean meat as well.. Kebiasaannya saya ke pasar, beli daging pejal dan minta untuk dimesin.. No fat la kan.. So, I know my meat has got no 'funny' stuff added to them since they're being minced right in front of me..  

I think what makes these burgers juicy and tender is the fact that I cooked them in pre-made sauce. Haha, kire menipu la eh? To be honest, I m not very proud of the sauce cuz it's not exactly made of natural ingredients. Still trying to concoct a decent sauce made of natural ingredients. For now, the recipe below would have to suffice..

SOS BEEFBURGER

Bahan-bahannya:

Sos cili

sos tomato

kicap

madu

serbuk lada hitam

Cara-caranya:

Campurkan semua bahan di dalam mangkuk. Boleh dimasak atas api kecil jika mahu, tapi bukanlah satu kemestian.

Tip: Semasa burger separuh masak, tuangkan sos. Jadi, ada ruang dan masa untuk burger menyerap sos. Hehe, makes sense ke? Oh well, this works for me, for now..

Happy trying darls!

Toodles!
