This episode: burger
Next episode: Stroganoff
I did some research into straganoff and all the traditional recipes say to use tenderloin or filet mignon so I am going to wait until the butcher will do a custom order for me.
In the meantime it’s time to use up other ingredients.

Oh he does but I have an eye for quality and he does as well, sometimes that means you wait a day or two for a super-premium cut.
Beef is expensive I’m fine waiting to be picky.
Let’s build the sauce.
1/3rd lemon juice in a bowl, remove pulp/seeds.

Add spice (your choice, your taste) and whisk it with a fork or… whisk.
Give it 5m to rehydrate in the lemon juice.

This goes hard no lie.
Spice blend for the burgers. This is a mix of homemade blends, my cajun blend and garlic salt blend, mixed.
Everyone has a slightly different taste for spices.
I recommend this recipe guide:

It should emulsify almost instantly

It tastes pretty good but it’s going to be too intense for the burger (and we want to put it on both buns) so we reduce the r piquant-ness by adding about 1tbsp of mayonnaise.

It takes about 2m to emulsify using a fork as a whisk, about 20s with a full whisk. I like the fork method because I can add more controlled aeration but it is your spice, it’s your taste.

This one is good too
Only season 1 side. Otherwise it’s usually too much.

What a waste
Why not just make Steak au Poivre n Frites
And time them so they're both HOT without having to keep em warm in the oven
You know, a REAL meal?

Your patties are too thin and compressed
They should be loosely formed

Iron pans are typically for homecooks/amateurs.
A professional maillard like this requires steel.

Buns toasted in the broiler.
I’m going to add a thin layer of cheese so the sauce doesn’t soak directly into the buns.

This is a good cooking thread.
But wtf is up with the posts criticizing it?
Is it just one faggot being a troll making all these disparaging comments? And why?
