Cook Time: Not specified (depends on cooking method, approx. 6–10 minutes)
Servings: 24 burgers
Ingredients
- 1 kg rib meat (cleaned, with some fat)
- 300 g ground lean beef (such as round or “patinho”)
- 14 g salt
- Black pepper to taste
- Cumin to taste
Instructions
-
Prepare the rib meat:
Cut the rib into small pieces. Remove the white membrane and excess fat, but keep about one-third of the fat for flavor. -
Grind the meat:
Grind the rib meat using a food processor or ask your butcher to grind it for you. -
Mix the ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the ground rib meat with the ground lean beef. Add salt, black pepper, and cumin, then mix thoroughly until well combined. -
Shape the burgers:
Form the mixture into burger patties using your hands or a burger mold. You can also use a lid or ring mold to shape them evenly. -
Cook the burgers:
Grill or pan-fry the patties over medium-high heat until cooked to your preferred doneness (typically 3–5 minutes per side depending on thickness).
Tips
- Keeping some fat is essential for a juicy burger.
- Avoid overworking the meat when shaping to maintain tenderness.
- Seasoning can be adjusted or added just before cooking for better texture.
