Throw out these processed burger patties! It's now easier and healthier to make the best hamburger at home. All you have to do is get freshly ground beef from your favorite butcher and work a little harder. So if you want to know how to make a hamburger, just follow these steps.

Ingredients:

• Burger
• 1 pound (453 grams) 80% lean beef/chuck
• 6 burger buns
• 1 egg yolk
• Adding spices
• Small red or white onion

Ketchup:

• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 1 tablespoon white pepper
• 1 clove of garlic
• Finely chop a handful of fresh herbs.
• Salt and pepper to taste

Toping’s:

• 2 finely chopped tomatoes
• 6 pieces of cheese
• Lettuce leaves
• Ketchup
• Mayonnaise

Step 1: Making patties for burgers

Get the right meat. Get a butcher to grind chuck beef with 20% fat. If you use too much fat, it will only drip the meat and cause a fire. Less and the burgers will dry out. [2] If possible, buy meat the day you are going to cook it. Ask the butcher to grind the meat twice, once in a thick mill plate and then in a thin plate.

Step 2: Seasoning (optional)

  

1, Put ground beef in a bowl. When you are ready, you will add other ingredients.

2, Finely chop the onion and garlic. So put them in a bowl and mix until combined.

3, Add any of the ingredients you want to the burger. These include Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mustard, and chopped herbs. These ingredients are optional, but they can add a special flavor to the meat.

4, Add the egg yolks. Add salt and pepper to one egg yolk and mix everything. It's easy to start mixing with a spoon. Then use your clean hands to combine the ingredients well.

5, Make a burger. Handle the meat as much as possible, so that you do not squeeze the juice. Using your hands, make the mixture into 6 equal-sized balls. Press the balls down to form the shape of a flat burger about 1 inch (1.27 cm) thick.

 Make a small indentation in the middle of the burger with your thumb. This prevents the center from swelling, which leads to uneven cooking.

Step 3: Baking burgers

  

1, Arrange the burgers on a plate. So cover them with plastic wrap or wax paper. Let cool for 30 minutes to a few hours to make the burger strong and easy to cook. Burger meat is best cooked cold.

2, Choose your cooking method. Homemade burgers can be cooked with a broiler or grill, fried in a frying pan or pan, or barbecued. They can also be cooked. The method used depends on what you have available and what you prefer in terms of taste and texture.

 Whichever method you choose, after taking the patties out of the fridge, sprinkle a little cooking oil on them or brush with some melted butter before cooking. So here are the different ways you can use it.

Broiler / Grill: Preheat the broiler (upper-level grill) over medium heat. Cover the broiler pan with foil for easy cleaning after cooking. Place the burger in the broiler pan. Fry them on all sides for 6-7 minutes or until well cooked.

Frying pan or pan: Put oil or butter in the pan and fry the burger well. Be sure to use a low heat and a long cook to cook the burger properly all the way.

Place the burger on the barbecue grill. Cook as usual for hamburgers on a barbecue.

Bake: Place in oven at 350ºF / 180ºC for 15 to 30 minutes, depending on thickness. You may want to return them halfway through, checking donations regularly.

Step 4: Adding toppings

 

1, when burgers are cooked, makes toppings. You can choose the toppings of your choice, but what can you do to make traditional toppings for burgers:

Wash lettuce and tomatoes.

Cut the burger buns in half, and then chop the tomatoes finely.

Put ketchup and mayonnaise on the table for diners to choose from.

2, Serve. Once the burgers are cooked to your liking, serve the best hamburger. Place inside the bun with the topping and serve on the table. Now your homemade burger is ready

Alternatively, place the burger on a plate with other foods such as rice, chips, mashed potatoes, or salad.
