Black and Blue Steak Burger Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Black and Blue Steak Burger Recipe). Why chop up perfectly good steaks to make burgers? Why, for the extraordinary taste and texture, of course; and it's nice to know exactly what you're eating. Most ground meat from the store is too fine, horribly overworked, and a little tough by the time you form it into patties. We avoid that problem by using a sharp knife and partially frozen meat. Plus, the sharp, savory funkiness of blue cheese helps form a glorious crust as the meat sears into it.

Black and Blue Steak Burger Recipe

Ingredients

¾ pound fatty rib-eye steak

¾ pound top sirloin steak

2 ounces blue cheese

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 ½ tablespoons mayonnaise

or to taste

4 hamburger buns

split and toasted

2 ounces pickled red onions

or to taste

Main Dish

Directions

Step 1

Slice steaks in half then into strips about 1/4-to 1/2-inch-thick. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze until very cold and firm but not quite frozen about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Place blue cheese in the freezer as well so it's easier to handle.

Step 2

Chop the partially frozen steak with a sharp knife or meat cleaver until it resembles coarsely ground meat. Crumble about 1/2 cup (unpacked) blue cheese on top; use the cleaver to fold and chop it into the meat.

Step 3

Lightly dampen your hands with water and roll the mixture into 3 or 4 patties. Flatten onto individual pieces of plastic wrap; seal and refrigerate until ready to cook.

Step 4

Unwrap patties and continue pressing them to your desired thinness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Heat a dry cast iron pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Sear each patty without disturbing it until a crust forms on the bottom about 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until the surface springs back when lightly pressed about 3 minutes more.

Step 6

Spread some mayonnaise over each bottom bun half. Serve patties on the buns topped with pickled red onions.
