Beef Up Your Burger-Making Skills With Tips From These Grilling Experts

It’s important to look at the fat content ratio when seeking a burger blend to make sure you have a juicy and flavorful patty. “You want fat in your burger because that’s what creates the flavor,” says Schweid. He recommends a 75 lean/ 25% fat blend, which is the same one used in The Ramen Burger. Both Schweid and Shimamoto say a juicy patty allows the bun (or noodle bun) to soak up the juices and creates an overall tastier bite. Also, base your purchase on the cuts of beef. “My favorite blend is a chuck and brisket combination by Schweid and Sons because the chuck is tender and a very worked muscle, and mixed in with a flavorful brisket it provides a delicious cut of beef,” says Schweid. Also, choose a 5.3 oz or 4 oz sized patty since you typically lose some of the burger when cooked.
