The Best Meat for Burgers [Infographic] - Burger Artist

preview

All hamburgers share one common thing that defines how good they’ll be,&nbsp;meat. Picking the best meat for burgers is a critical step before bothering with other ingredients, toppings, or condiments.
Let’s figure take a look at our options for meat and get a solid base to create awesome burgers. From there&nbsp;you’ll be ready to try adding things to the meat, trying different meats, and going crazy with toppings.
Just like when picking out a steak, you’ve got a bunch of options when picking out meat for your burgers. These include a variety of different cuts like:
In taste tests, the cut that was&nbsp;the best meat for burgers is chuck.
Ground chuck starts&nbsp;at the neck and goes down to where the ribs end. The meat here is flavorful and relatively fatty with a fair amount of connective tissue. While it may not be great for a steak, once ground for a burger, the meat cooks well and tastes great.
When picking out your meat, first look for 20% fat, 80% lean beef. Even if it’s not 100% chuck you’ll find this meat very flavorful.
If you go to the grocery store, you’ll often see pre-packaged ground beef. If this doesn’t specifically say ‘ground chuck’ it’s probably made from mixed trimmings. This may not be ideal, but its convenient… what’s most important first is buying&nbsp;the 80/20 lean to fat&nbsp;ratio.
To make it even better, ask your butcher for coarse ground chuck for burgers. The fat content will vary by the cut of meat that is chosen. If it looks too lean&nbsp;you can ask your butcher to add some fat into the chuck they grind for you to get it up to the 20+% fat range.
Chuck is also the best meat to grind for burgers and you can buy a chuck roast to grind at home. First cut up the meat into medium size cubes to make it easy to grind. Then grind it coarsely, using the 1/4″ holes, and only run it once through the grinder. (I used this grinder from amazon)
Once you’ve made some burgers with 80/20 ground chuck you might want to try mixing it up a bit. Some things to try include:
Next: Turn that meat into the perfect burger patty
