Best Homemade Hamburger Recipe

I have a recipe for ya but it is a little pricey for burgers. i just tried it one day dicking around in the kitchen.

2 NY stips cut into cubes
season the cubes with salt and pepper only
grind the cubes in a meat grinder or if need be you can use a food prossesor using approximately 10 "pulses"

make burger patties straight from fresh ground meat handling a little as possible (work with soft hands never squeeze your meat LOL) do not add any fancy smancy other crap (eggs,breadcrumbs, onions etc.)
fry or grill whichever you choose until medium/medium well. last tip do not under any circustance smash your burgers I know its tempting to smash down on them from time to time but you must refrain. thats the basic the dressing part is up to you but it is hard to beat lettuce, tomato, onion, bacon, cheese and mayo

THE key is to grind your own meat or have your butcher grind you some fresh.

the better the grade of meat, the less extras. Great meat = coarse salt, cracked pepper, med rare. use a cast iron skillet on high heat.

Decent Meat = above plus some extra spices of your choice, medium. skillet or grill.

Shitty meat = medium to medium well, flavored with all kinds of shite, stuffed if you wish. go nuts. grill, b/c the smoke will be too much on the stove with the shitty meat.

note, never put eggs and bread crumbs in a burger. that's called meatloaf.

eta: don't beat your meat unless you like tough, oddly textured burgers.
