Steakhouse Burger

Ingredients:

Steakhouse Spice Mix

• 2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
• 1.5 tsp dried garlic
• 1.5 tsp. dried onions
• 1.5 tsp dried parsley
• 0.5 tsp. dried mustard
• 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes

Burgers

• 350 g of coarsely ground beef neck meat
• 350 g of coarsely ground beef tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature

Preparation:

1. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat for 20 minutes.
2. Spice mix:
   
   Combine black pepper, garlic, onion, parsley, dry mustard, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
3. Gently combine the two types of ground meat in a large bowl, being careful not to over-compact the mixture. Form four patties, each 2 cm thick and 10 cm in diameter. Season generously with salt and pepper. Spread the spice mixture evenly on a plate. Coat both sides of the patties with the mixture.
4. Place the patties in the hot skillet; do not press down with a spatula. Cook until the patties are browned on one side, about 3.5 minutes, then flip and coat each patty with a quarter of the butter. Cook the other side until the patties are browned and cooked through to medium-rare, about 3.5 minutes more.
5. Assemble the burgers by adding any toppings and sauces to the patties to suit your taste.
