Cast-Iron Skillet Burgers

For the best advice, although I’ve been making burgers this way for (too many) years (and I am able to buy good ground beef locally), I give you Alton Brown  and his ⤵

Burger of the Gods

 

There’s also a video recipe

Ingredients

8 ounces chuck, trimmed, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
8 ounces sirloin, trimmed, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

In separate batches, pulse the chuck and the sirloin in a food processor 10 times. Combine the chuck, sirloin, and kosher salt in a large bowl. Form the meat into 5-ounce patties (4″ x 3/4″).
Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Place the hamburger patties in the pan. For medium-rare burgers, cook the patties for 4 minutes on each side. For medium burgers, cook the patties for 5 minutes on each side. Flip the burgers only once during cooking.

*Alton stresses that salt is all the seasoning you need for a perfect burger. (Although I do love the salty sear, you know I like seasonings;  good pepper, garlic, Grill Mates Montreal Steak Seasoning. Just sayin)
