Question

How coarse should top sirloin be ground for hamburgers?

Answer 1

I am a former chef and would grind it medium fine and do not rim off all the fat you ned some, if it is pretty lean, get a piece of blade or chuck and mix it in, or some fat like a piece of belly pork to add some flavour and moistness to the burgers.

Purist will say just seasonings and then wham on the grill, but for a juicy burger a bit of breadcrumbs to hold in the juices, a bit of worchestershire sauce, or steak sauce plus you seasoning, I use powdered ones as the mix in better, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika and some onion powder or salt, mix them up. portion them out and chill, 15-20 minutes before cooking bring them out and let them warm up and then grill or BBQ, I like mine medium and as you ground the beef you know the source, just be careful handling it and keep it cold until you go to cook, like I said the timing is up to you, but if you doing them to order, then the inside may still be cool if not brought up to room temp.
