Okay, let’s get right to it. This BBQ burger isn’t going to be an exact recipe for the perfect burger. Why do you ask? Well, that’s a good question. The answer is simple; there are endless possibilities and combinations of ingredients when making burgers. So what I am going to do here is tell you what my best burger has been so far and offer some further suggestions for burger making.
What kind of meat should you use for a burger? Hey, what kind of meat do you love? The sexiest result I’ve had so far has been a mix of equal parts medium lean beef, pork, and veal. If you are fussy overusing lean meat, go for it so long as you don’t use just beef. A burger made with just lean meat can become dry and dull real quick if you don’t cook it closer to rare.
The combination of these three types of meat is fantastic. The veal gives it a nice twist and some great smack you in the mouth flavour, while the pork will keep this burger obscenely juicy even if you cook it well done. Please don’t cook the BBQ burger well done. You will make me very sad.
