I'm getting tired of the same old tasteless "ground beef" from the grocery store for making hamburgers and the wife asked about grinding our own. So, in that vein, what cut(s) do you all use for your burgers and why?
I did a quick search on here and didn't turn up much. A search of the internet results in probably 100 years worth of reading, but I'd rather have you guys' opinions as I trust you all more than the general internet.
One blog I found on the internet that actually tested out various blends for both flavor and texture recommended this:
6 oz sirloin
5 oz brisket (does not specify point or flat, I would assume point)
10 oz oxtail
And while that sounds good it would be both cost prohibitive, brisket point is generally only available in whole packers around here and quite expensive, as is oxtail which can be found but you need to do some looking for it.
i was thinking maybe sub'ing out the oxtail and replacing it with tritip since that's easy to find and fairly cheap if you get it on sale. But I'm not sure. Seems like that would be a lot less fatty.
Anyway, what is your go-to recipe for ground beef for burgers? thanks in advance!
