Prep Time: 30 minutes
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

  1. 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.
  2. Grind the meat:
    Grind the rib meat using a food processor or ask your butcher to grind it for you.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
