re: Let's hear your fresh burger recipe.

I loosely form a big 8oz patty with freshly ground beef and season with salt and pepper. I cook it like I do a steak. Sear on a hot cast iron skillet to get a nice crust and cook in a 500 degree oven for about ten minutes. Gives me a perfect medium well burger every time. I honestly think that the less you mess with a burger the better. Oh and I cook it on a rack in the oven so it doesn't cook in it's grease. I think having it ground not too long before cooking makes a big difference.

Can honestly say I've never heard of anyone ever doing this. That's just waaaaaay too much heat on a burger for me. Especially if you're going through all the trouble to get ground meat that fresh.
