Ingredients

Quality, fresh ground beef

Butter

Optional - 1 egg per burger

Instructions

1. Form the meat into patties.

2. Melt the butter in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. About 1-2 tablespoons of butter per half pound of meat.

3. When the butter starts to bubble but is not browned, fry the meat in the hot butter for about 2 minutes, then flip and fry on the other side for about 2 minutes.

4. Reduce the heat to medium and flip the burgers again, cooking them for about two more minutes.

 

This dish's delicacy is that the meat's outer layer is seared and well-cooked, and the inside is rare and soft.  The more cooked the meat, the drier it is and the less tasty. 

To make the dish Steak à Cheval, add a fried egg sunny side up to a steak haché burger.

I often cook "au pif," as we say in France, which means cooking without an exact recipe and by "feel" using your intuition.  You’ll often find guidelines in many recipes versus exact quantities.  Write to me here if you have any questions about the recipes.

  • A Real Game Changer

    "We have made a lot of progress over here under your care. We are now all eating from the same “pot” which I was surprised how much my kids loved. They were so excited when I put the food in the middle of the table. They asked for it the next day, Can we do that special fancy dinner thing where we have a feast? It really is such a better ritual—passing the food around and all sharing from the same platter, a real game changer."
