But what, exactly, makes the burger so good? Our chefs have a list of tips and tricks to craft the perfect hamburger for those days when you’re not around to grab the best burger in Morristown, NJ straight from the source.
The Good Kind of Fat, and the Best Kind of Meat
The thing that makes the perfect hamburger delicious comes down to the fat content of the meat. If you go too low-fat, your burger will be dry. Somewhere between 20 percent to 40 percent is a good range.
When you’re selecting your meat, however, there’s more that goes into it than just the fat content. The type of meat is just as important.
Step away from the standard ground beef and think about something with more flavor, like a well-aged prime rib, ribeye trimmings, chuck, or brisket.
If you can grind it yourself, even better, so long as you stick to a coarser grind to create a burger with substance.
Some people even choose to use bison or a mix of bison and beef. It’s all about the flavor and the seasoning, so choose wisely.
Cooked to Perfection
How cooked the beef should be is a personal preference, but you don’t want to overcook your burger by any means. Even if you picked a nice fatty, juicy, and flavorful cut of meat for your burger, it would dry out if you char it into a crisp.
Keep an eye on your burger and aim for something around medium rare, having seared the outsides for a nice crust.
The Ideal Bun
All buns are not created equal, and the best burger in Morristown, NJ needs the ideal bun as its companion. There’s not much point in working hard to create a mouthwatering burger only to subject it to a bland bun.
The bun for your burger should be something sturdy but not too hard. It needs to be strong enough to stand up to the juicy deliciousness of the meat without going soggy, but not so tough that it’s impossible to bite through.
If you prefer a soft bun, consider toasting the sides that will come into contact with the burger before you put the whole thing together.
You also need to consider how much bun is in each bite as compared to meat. Find the perfect ratio, and your bun and burger won’t be competing for the spotlight.
