Description

Crafting your own burger patties from scratch is the key to elevating your next backyard BBQ. By blending different cuts of beef—short rib for richness, chuck for structure, brisket for depth, and just the right touch of beef fat for moisture—you create a perfectly balanced patty with irresistible flavor and texture. This mix delivers a juicy bite with every mouthful, and taking the time to gently combine the ingredients ensures a tender, cohesive patty that holds up beautifully on the grill. Refrigerating overnight helps the patties bind naturally, making them easier to cook and even more delicious when served.

Step by Step Instructions

1
Grind each cut of meat and the beef fat separately using a coarse grind setting.
2
Measure out ½ lb of short rib, 1 lb of chuck, ½ lb of brisket, and 0.2 lb of beef fat.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground short rib, chuck, and brisket using your hands. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
4
Gradually add the ground beef fat to the mixture, gently folding it in until evenly distributed. Be careful not to over-mix.
5
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions.
6
Roll each portion into a loose ball, then press down gently to form a patty approximately ¾ inch thick.
7
Place the patties on a tray, cover with plastic wrap or parchment paper, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour—preferably overnight—to help the patties bind and hold their shape during cooking.
