Recipe(tried): Duncan Grill Steak and Ale Burgers

Hiya Beege,

I figured it was an older term (before food processors), but was real curious to see if I was missing something...LOL

The recipe was for Steak & Ale burgers that came in the cookbook for my Ducane Grill.

2 lbs. Ground Beef Chuck, to serve 6
1 large sweet white onion, about 3" diameter
3 slices stale rye bread
1/3 tsp crushed caraway seeds
1/3 bottle good ale, at room temperature
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
white of one egg

Loosen the meat by spreading it on a mixing board. Peel and scrape the onion. Trim the crusts from the bread and combine it in the bowl with the onion pulp, caraway seeds, ale, salt pepper and the meat.

Work the mixture with your fingertips until the meat has assimilated the seasoning, bread-pulp and liquid. Form the meat into patties, beat the egg white lightly and brush the patties.

Cook on the grill over moderate heat, turning the patties only once. Serve with crispy-toasted rye bread.

I added a slice of good sharp cheddar to each one.

This is really nothing new, but the term was new. And these ARE good burgers.

Thanks for your reply.
