Real Hamburgers
- 2 pounds ground chuck
- 1 pound ground sirloin
- 3 tablespoons steak sauce (recommended: Crosse & Blackwell)
- 6 extra-large egg yolks
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
- 12 hamburger buns
- Carefully mix the meats, steak sauce, egg yolks, salt, and pepper with the tines of a fork, but do not mash it.
- Lightly form each hamburger and lightly press into a patty shape.
- Make an indentation and put a thin slice of butter inside each hamburger, making sure the butter is entirely encased in the meat.
- Heat a grill, broiler, or saute pan and cook the hamburgers for 3 to 5 minutes on each side until almost done.
- Remove to a plate and cover with aluminum foil.
- Allow the hamburgers to rest for 5 minutes and serve immediately on buns.
