Directions
  1. 1
    Cut the bottom chuck, sirloin, and short rib meat into long chunks approximately 1 1/2 inches wide.
  2. 2
    Visually inspect the meat chunks; if the fat content appears to be less than 20 to 25 percent, add strips of beef fat to ensure juiciness.
  3. 3
    Season the meat chunks generously with salt and pepper.
  4. 4
    Grind the boneless meats together through a meat grinder using a large grinding blade with 3/8-inch holes.

    If cooking indoors, heat a large, heavy skillet over high heat.
  8. 8
    Add 2 ounces of beef suet to the skillet and allow it to melt completely.
  9. 9
    Place six burgers into the skillet, ensuring they are not crowded.

    Cook the burgers for about 4 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for another 4 minutes for rare, or longer if preferred.

Note

For best results, keep the meat cold throughout the grinding and shaping process to prevent the fat from smearing.

If you do not have a meat grinder, you can ask your butcher to grind the meat blend for you, requesting a double grind for the best texture.

Beef suet can be substituted with other high-smoke-point fats like beef tallow or clarified butter if unavailable.

Adjust cooking time based on desired doneness: 4 minutes per side for rare, 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, and 7-8 minutes per side for medium.
