The Steakhouse in Hammond offers it occasionally so I grabbed a couple pounds.

Some of our best burgers at a restaurant I worked at were ground with trimmings from uncooked ribeye steaks. Point being, it was the fat content that made the burgers so tasty. Not sure how pure ground filet would translate into a burger. Why on earth would one grind a filet anyway?

I bet it's ground up tenderloin tails........the little ends of a tenderloin. I've got that from whole foods before.

You'll need some fat.

I would assume this is from trimmings as well......

Yeah, don't grind it. Slice thinly seaon with whatever you choose, and give a quick searing, then assemble the sandwich.

Sounds like he bought it ground.

I'd make the burger somewhat thin so you can more easily get a uniform medium cook without leaving a raw center or an overdone outside. I'd go with cast iron since you'll want to make sure you're at really high heat. Cook it in butter.

If anything, finely chop onion and incorporate it into the beef.

Nephew had one at Mr. B's last month and said it was awesome. They might mix some fat in or maybe they don't trim it. Didn't look fatty, but it sure looked good.

We do ground filet burgers frequently. They are great. Just salt and pepper and a little oil after you form the patties. I don't mix anything in the ground beef. Make them thick. Will take longer to cook than you think.

you are going to need more beef fat or it will be way too lean.

Make some chimichurri. Knead the meat with the sauce, then form patties.

Cook.

Enjoy.

I do it from time to time with the scraps after cutting a whole tenderloin into steaks. I add ribeye fat. When I buy a whole ribeye and cut into steaks, I cut the fat cap into chunks and freeze it. You have to find the right fat to meat ratio. I added to much once, burger was so rich I couldn't finish it. Tasted like I put a stick of butter on top of the cooked patty, was good, but a little too much. I didn't think there was such a thing as too much ribeye fat, but apparently there is.
