OK... Tri Tip Burgers

[1Cavman]

One untrimmed Tri Tip at 4#



Trimmed I got 2.5# and 1.5# of fat



Cut up.. After looking at the marbling I decided to add 1/2# of the fat to the mix which works out to about 80/20.


Out of the freezer and into the tray with the 5/16th plate



Took a 3 oz patty and fried it up. Was curious and about shrinkage and weight loss.


Very little shrinkage. Ended up a 2.1 oz after cooking. Tasted amazing...


Used about a pound for the burgers. Mixed in 1/2 TBS of Worcestershire and 1 tsp of MHGP. Hit it with a little Montreal Steak and went indirect with a little apple.


Then direct to finish and a slice of red onion with a little EVOO


Two with American and one with Brick cheese. The grilled onion is under the Brick.


Finished with Thousand Island, lettuce and tomato.


This was truly burger heaven.. Not much shrinkage.. Very juicy and flavorful.

Yeah, buddy !!!
Thanks for the post up !!!

That's one of the things i like about tips is the fairly low shrink factor.......

Burger appears on the well done side, and I absolutely believe you that it was very juicy !!!

I'll cook whole ones fat cap on most always, just for that 'juicy' factor............

Grate Lookin' Burgers !!!!

A bit over cooked for sure.. Got a little distracted..

but the tender & juicy thing is still there, with that mix you made up, you can still go to well & it's just fine !!!!

PS:
This is brisket point & tri-tip, side-by-side, from a few weeks back.....well done is really OK.....

Excellent looking burgers!! I'm looking for a good quality meat grinder, how do you like your Lem?

Aside from the fact that sounds like a mini jet engine I have on complaints.
Easy to breakdown and clean. I quit buying burger and sausage from the stores...
Grind it, mix it and into foodsaver bags. Well worth the investment.
