Ribeye burgers

JB · May 2010

I used to buy burgers from a place that used a combination of choice, prime and wagyu in preformed patties. Expensive but dayum good. They went out of business a while back and I've been disappointed in burgers since. I bought the KA grinder attachment and tried a few combinations over the past couple of years but always came up short.

Stocked up on some ribeyes on sale at Publix this week and figured I would grind one up and give it another go. I remember reading a post where someone here used ribeye for burgers. I'm glad I tried it. Best burgers I've ever done personally, enough left to do a couple for lunch tomorrow.

Still partially frozen, cut into 1" cubes

First grind

Problem I've had in the past is that the grind seemed a bit too "chunky", so I ran it through again

Loosely formed patties, 5-6 oz., on at 500* slightly raised direct, 3 mins/ side

Went a little past where I had planned, but still a tinge of pink, and very juicy flavorful, not dry at all

I just bought a meat grinder, and this is exactly what I had in mind to do with it. Thanks for the info, and pics, it looks great.

And I thought I was doin' good grindin' chuck, brisket and short ribs. Gotta expand my horizon.

Try grinding a 50/50 blend of beef brisket and sirloin, I do angus brisket from Sams club and prime Ssirloin from Costo.. Makes the best burgers I have ever had

Just a tad off topic here, but is that FGA grinder for KA plastic? I see the inside screw or pusher is also plastic. HAs anyone broken theirs?

Eggbertsdad · September 2012

The screw is plastic with a metal bar inside it. The blade and the thing with the holes are metal. I ground up about 4 lbs last night with no problems at all. Very easy.

Looks tasty. Just not sure if I want to pay that much per lb for a burger. Is it worth cost?

Ricklesss · September 2012

Personally, I cannot WAIT to grind up some super good meat for burgers,
I have a question though in concern for my "better half".

She is somewhat specific in the % of fat in burger meat....is there ANY way of predicting what one might end up with when grinding different meats? Even ball park?

Guessing probably not, unless one has ground up thousands of lbs of meat, and compared (?) it to store bought stuff know percentages...

Did that make sense? :>) Regardless, I'll be grinding soon!
