How I Revamped Alton Browns Steak Tartare Into A Burger Recipes

STEAK TARTARE

Steps:

• Put the beef on a plate and place in the freezer for 15 minutes (this will make dicing the beef easier).
• Whisk together the mustard and oil in a large bowl. Add the jalapeño, shallot, cornichons, and capers and mix to combine.
• Remove the meat from the freezer and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Put the steak in the bowl with the jalapeño mixture, add the green onions and parsley, and fold gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the tartare among 4 large dinner plates, drizzle with some of the mustard sauce, and serve with 3 slices of the garlic toast. Serve immediately.
• Mustard Sauce
• Combine the egg yolk, anchovies, both mustards, and the vinegar in a blender and blend until smooth.
• With the motor running, slowly add the oil, drop by drop at first, and blend until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 1 day before serving.
• Garlic Toast
• Preheat the broiler or heat a grill pan over high heat.
• Combine garlic and oil in a blender and blend for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into a bowl.
• Brush both sides of the bread with the garlic oil and broil or grill the bread until lightly golden brown on both sides, about 30 seconds per side. Cut each slice in half. The garlic toasts are best served warm, the day they are made.

STEAK TARTARE

Steps:

• Cut the steak into 1-inch cubes and park in the freezer for 10 minutes.
• Whisk the vinegar, dry mustard and egg yolks together in a small bowl. Whisk continuously while streaming in the oil until emulsified, then whisk in the shallots, capers, salt, and roughly 2/3 of the celery leaves and parsley.
• Hand chop the meat to your desired texture. (Alternately, divide the meat into 4 batches and pulse each batch separately 3 to 4 times in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the standard S-blade.)
• With clean hands, quickly fold the meat and dressing together. Plate using a 3 3/4-inch pastry ring and garnish with the reserved herbs and lemon zest.

BURGER OF THE GODS

Steps:

• In separate batches, pulse the chuck and the sirloin in a food processor 10 times. Combine the chuck, sirloin, and kosher salt in a large bowl. Form the meat into 5-ounce patties.
• Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Place the hamburger patties in the pan. For medium-rare burgers, cook the patties for 4 minutes on each side. For medium burgers, cook the patties for 5 minutes on each side. Flip the burgers only once during cooking.

BEEF TARTARE BURGER

Steps:

• If grilling or broiling, heat should be medium-high and rack about 4 inches from fire. Put beef, shallot, garlic, capers and anchovy, if using, into a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground - finer than chopped, but not much. Put it into a bowl with parsley, Tabasco sauce and Worcestershire sauce, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix gently, then taste and adjust seasoning. Handling meat as lightly as possible to avoid compressing it, shape it into 4 or more burgers.
• To broil or grill, cook about 3 minutes on each side for rare and another minute per side for each increasing stage of doneness. For stovetop, heat a large skillet over medium heat for 2 or 3 minutes, then add patties; cook, undisturbed, for about 2 minutes, then rotate them so they brown evenly. Turn once and cook for a total of about 6 minutes for rare.
• Garnish with chopped medium-cooked egg, capers, whole anchovies, diced sweet white onion, chopped parsley and peeled lemon slices.
