They turned out ok. Have been in the fridge all day. Will dust half with flour and leave the other half and will cook all in beef tallow. 🙂 #foodstr

Hello👋, how are you doing?

I love the electric grinder I bought from ALDI like 5 years ago. Still going strong with being used at least once per week. The hand grinder was such a pain to clean. The secret to making burgers is just fresh ground beef & a long sheet of cling wrap to squish them between. It sounds simple but it was a game changer for me. I don't like the shit Australians put in their burgers. If you need to add egg, you're doing it wrong.

Sorry man. Home economics trauma coming back to haunt me. 😂 Try the glad wrap though. Salt them & put em on the BBQ & don't turn them until they've cooked half way up. They shouldn't stick if your BBQ is hot.

What does the cling wrap do? I presume we get to the same point with salt pepper onion etc? And you’re saying don’t cook in oil?

Pure beef - nothing added. Just fresh ground beef squished between cling wrap. It stops the beef from sticking to your bench & helps make it round. I roll the meat into a ball & then squish. If I want onions I'll add them on top. Usually quick pickled in a bit of salt & vinegar. I just cook them on the BBQ grill. If the mince is really lean or you have to use a pan, I'd add a bit of tallow. I'm not a fan of the humble Aussie risole.

They ended up too full of moisture. They sort of turned the tallow to mainly water and stewed rather than cook/fry… work in progress. :(

Yeah gotta get that pan really hot to burn off the water as it comes out of the meat. They won't brown when there's moisture.

I might have to get a new pan. 👍🏻 Also, adding the flour was pointless. 🙂
