How To Grind Your Own Meat

Best cuts of meat for beef burgers:
- chuck steak (most common used due to fat content)
- sirloin (lean cut but good flavour)
- brisket (good beefy flavor and high-fat content, makes a beautifully rich burger)
Instructions
Making Burger Patties Preparation
- Make your patties larger than required as they will shrink as they cook. Divide into even-sized portions.
- Form your meat into loose patties.
- Shape your patty gently in your hands to make it around. Do not overwork the meat, nor make it tightly compacted.
- Make an indentation with your thumb in the center of your party. This helps to keep its shape as it cooks.
- Refrigerate your patties for at least 30 minutes before cooking, this helps your patties to stay together.
