Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground chuck
- 1 pound ground sirloin
- 3 tablespoons steak sauce (recommended: Crosse & Blackwell)
- 6 extra-large egg yolks
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
- 12 hamburger buns
Directions
Carefully mix the meats, steak sauce, egg yolks, salt, and pepper with the tines of a fork, but do not mash it. Lightly form each hamburger and lightly press into a patty shape. Make an indentation and put a thin slice of butter inside each hamburger, making sure the butter is entirely encased in the meat.
Heat a grill, broiler, or saute pan and cook the hamburgers for 3 to 5 minutes on each side until almost done. Remove to a plate and cover with aluminum foil. Allow the hamburgers to rest for 5 minutes and serve immediately on buns.

Watch the video! The flavor was delicious with the A-1 and onions I added, but they didn't hold together on the grill. I was afraid to pack them too tightly, but next time I will. I watched the video after I made them and saw Ina pack them tightly in her hands when forming the burgers then throw them on the grill.

I think these are fantastic! I added melted butter (3 tbsp per 2 lb of beef to my 80/20 beef and they were so moist. I left all other proportions the same. They were even good when my charbroiling husband grilled the heck out of them. Yuuumm!
