Is that 100% moose or is it mixed with ground beef? I was always told you couldn't make good game burgers because the meat is so lean but I was probably lied to.

My father hunts more than I do now, but he's the one who shot the moose. Its an 80-20 mix I believe. The butcher adds in some beef so it "sticks" better so you're correct

If I ever find myself having to use lean meat, I add in a little olive oil and worcestershire. Usually comes out pretty good. Now, that being said, since most of the burgers I make have bacon, I use bacon grease from time to time as well.

when I do use a cooktop to make hamburgers I use a skillet like this, albiet with taller "grill" bump things
it works great to lift the burger out of the grease and give more of a true grilled style

doesn't that just make the heating uneven

>>7071775
I usually just go with montreal steak seasoning, I use that shit for a lot of stuff

>>7071833
how would it be uneven?
it's pretty much exactly the same as a regular outdoor grill except it catches all the grease and it holds onto more heat

I do have a gas stove btw

I make skillet burgers a lot.

My recipe is

1/4 lb ground beef
1/3 of an egg, beaten
Salt
Pepper

It doesn't need any more seasoning, the flavor from the toppings on the burger can handle that.

how do you think outdoor grills work

>>7071863
extremely hot flames

pureed onions, drained. fish sauce, a1, or soy sauce. black pepper.

cook burgers over medium low heat until they're to your desired doneness. place burgers on a plate. heat pan to medium high/high and when heated, quickly sear burgers. this is the best way i've found to make burgers without a grill.

>1/3 of an egg

>>7071937
If you use too much egg it makes the burger not stick to itself as well.

You haven't thought this through have you?

What, conduction cooking from the grill plate hardly accounts for the heating of the meat. Most of it is from radiant heat. It's not like cast iron is a good conductor, it only has a high heat capacity. That means the majority of your burger will be cooked by convection. Enjoy your lack of maillard reaction, in exchange for some shitty grill marks

You seem to be confused. What you are making are meatloaf patties

> 4 parts beef.
> 1 part pork.
> Finely grated or dried onions.
> Garlic.
> Worchestershire sauce.
> Yellow mustard.
> Egg.
> Tex mex seasoning (optional)

Shut the fuck up, nerd. They cook things just fine.

Wow you convinced me.

Egg+crakers+sauce= this guy is right

Its not a purist thing its just technically correct

The best kind of correct.

>>7072067
i think anon means is; is it 1/3 of a whole egg or just a third of the egg white . i would just make a batch using 3/4 lbs of meat and 1 egg to save any confusion
>>7071937

>>7072343
I make 2 1/4 lb burgers and toss out the remaining third of the egg.

It's not that big of a loss to me, and I find it makes a better burger than half an egg.

>>7072307
Looks like you haven't thought this through, have you?

i'm lazy when i do my burgers, they're always pan fried and seasoned the same way

>ground beef
>onion soup mix
>combine ground beef with onion soup mix and form into patties
