Basic thin burger patties, grill or pan - recipe ground beef that's at least 20% fat (1/4 lb, 113g per patty, I do two patties per person) cheese slices (American cheese is probably best for thin burgers) salt pepper garlic powder clarified butter buns toppings (I do lettuce, raw sweet onions, pickles, ketchup, mustard) If you don't have clarified butter, you can make it by boiling butter over low heat until it's boiled out most of its water and the milk solids are just starting to turn golden, 10-15 minutes. Strain through a paper towel. If you're using freshly ground beef that has a loose internal texture (kinda like worms, it helps to knead the meat for a few minutes until it develops a tighter, pasty texture. This will help a very thin burger hold together as you cook it. I like to cut a parchment paper square for every thin burger I'm going to cook. I divide the meat into individual balls, dip them in clarified butter, then press them into the paper, making them a little thicker along the rim than they are at the center, and making them considerably wider than I want them in the end. I like to season the tops with pepper and garlic powder, but no salt yet. With the paper, you can stack them up and put them in the refrigerator until you're ready to cook they'll be easier to handle cold. If you're cooking these outside, a charcoal grill is usually the best way to get the extremely high heat necessary for thin burgers. Make your fire about as hot as you can. If you're doing these inside, a wide cast iron pan over high heat is a good option, but be aware this is going to make a lot of smoke. When your cooking surface is extremely hot, peel the burger halfway off the paper before carefully plopping it onto the heat. When the burgers are on, that's a convenient time to sprinkle on some salt with a thin burger, I don't think it really matters if you season both sides lightly or season one side heavily. When juice is starting to pool on top of the burgers, they're probably ready to flip. Scrape the burger from the bottom before flipping. If you want cheese, put it on immediately after flipping American cheese is more likely to actually melt in time. When the bottom is brown, a very thin burger is almost certainly done on the inside, or will be done after it rests for a few minutes. Toast the cut sides of the bun in the heat, but keep in mind they'll probably only need 10-15 seconds at these temperatures. Assemble and top your burgers as you desire.

I'm a personal opinion that the best way to put an onion on a burger is as crispy onion straws, though potato chips are an okay substitute (though the pungent onion really is better. The extra crunch holds up to all the moisture but I think the less overwhelmingly oniony taste means that I can enjoy the beefiness of the burger more

Actually there is a way to get the burger pink in the middle and crusty on the outside. Freeze them. All the way. Then just defrost them a little bit, and the surface won t have any water crystals that will explode and they won t explode and the inside will still be solid, so itll cook slower

One tip I love to do is to take the cheese squares (which my family calls cheese blankets) and fold the corners towards the middle making it a smaller square. This gives you a thicker layer of cheese that doesn't melt off the side of the burger.

Biggest culinary culture shock I've had in the USA is pink burgers. Us Brits love a medium rare steak but I don't know anyone who thinks a pink burger would be safe.
(Emphasis on thinks there. I've no idea what the actual science is)

If you want actually good ground beef, look no further than the middle easterns. Persians have pretty much perfected the ground beef kebab when I find it pretty much perfect.
Add some shredded onion to the meat and mash it in.

To me, in the pan, I prefer to still keep the meat loose. As long as it kinda holds together it starts creating laces of crispy caramelized meat, then with a good scraper flip it, American cheese, 30 seconds and that's it

I thought Adam would touch upon the Oklahoma Onion Burger, basically add a lot of thin onions slices/strings to a thin burger frying on a pan or griddle when you first put them on then flip.

Is it alright to heat butter on low temp like that without stirring? In my experience, the water and oil can get a little too explode-y if you don't stir butter as it's boiling off water.
reply

Wait, did Adam just change his video style? I mean I really liked his old style of videos but this video looks real dope. Nice improvements in the video quality Adam, great job.
