How to cook a burger on the grill: the necessary ingredients
As you know, the main component of any hamburger recipe is meat. After all, it is from him that the basis of such a dish is made - a cutlet. To prepare it, you need to take the following ingredients:
- Minced pork - 500 grams,
- Minced beef - 500 grams,
- Salt - 1 teaspoon,
- Ground black pepper - 1 teaspoon,
- Chicken egg - 1 piece,
- Onion half chopped,
- Ground crackers (it will be enough to take somewhere half a cup).
In addition, so that our barbecue burgers are truly unsurpassed, it is important to prepare 7 buns for hamburgers, cut in half (exactly how many cutlets you should get when using the above ingredients). You should also prepare fresh tomatoes, sliced rings, pickles and lettuce. Remember that the classic hamburger recipe includes some spicy barbecue sauce, but you can replace it with ketchup or mustard of your choice.
Cooking a grilled burger: step by step instructions
So, at the very beginning we need to mix two different types of minced meat, adding to them all the other ingredients from the list. Before you start cooking the cutlet, you can moisten your hands with cold water so that the chopped meat does not stick so much to your hands. Next, it is necessary to mold from the resulting mass the required number of cutlets equal in size, which would fit our buns. But remember that in the process of cooking the meat will decrease in size, so initially they should be larger than the rolls.
Then all the recipes for cooking delicious burgers are similar to each other - we need to take a grill prepared for work (with a grill cleaned of ash and dirt). Meat cutlets should be greased with a small layer of sunflower oil so that they do not burn. You need to cook on both sides alternately until the product looks ready. Now it remains to carefully remove the meatballs from the grill and put on buns, adding vegetables and sauce. We hope you enjoyed our recipe for grilled burgers!
