Burgers
Make and season patty
Make a patty to a size you desire. They do shrink and contract when cooked. Make an indentation to help prevent this. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder or lawrys seasoning salt.
Apply heat
This means put it on the grill. Or your skillet, or your pan. Cook time will vary based on thickness and your grill or skillet. Practice over time and try to make them the same way every time. Learn over time
Toast bun & add cheese
Lightly butter your bun or spread olive oil then lightly coat with garlic powder. Toast in indirect heat. Also add your cheese at this time. In a closed grill this will probably be a 2-5 minutes
Add Toppings
This one is personal preference. However its a power move to make the burger ready to eat. amateurs should prepare the toppings and allow the patrons to assemble their own burger
Serve
Its a classic. I would think everyone could do this but I have truly been forced to eat some terrible burgers over the years. Quality in, quality out and god no pre made patties and please dear lord do not way over cook your burger!
Simple Grilled steak
Raise Cow
Introduce a bull and a cow and adopt their child
Slaughter Cow
Once you have custody and your cow has reached maturity, kill it.
Butcher Cow
And select a good cut
Season your steak
Ideally have a 2 inch thick ribeye. season with salt and pepper (lightly with garlic powder if you're wild). Allow meat to come to room temperature
Grill steak/or pan fry
Grill over high heat or panfry over medium-high heat. If pan frying, use a bit of fat from the steak to grease pan as the pan heats up. Grilling is better. Flip when it starts to bleeds (when the blood starts to bubble up)- When the other side bleeds its done to a perfect medium rare.
Serve
Serve. Error on the side of undercook. You can always throw it back on the grill. the Steak will continue to cook after being removed from the heat. anything past medium rare is an insult to that cows life.
