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.

    Simple hamburger recipe that my family enjoyed. I skipped on the butter though but still came out moist. It was fabulous with grilled onions.

    Good, but we thought they were a little too bland. The butter helps the flavor though.

    Amazing Burgers! I skipped the butter and just used 80% lean meat to simplify the recipe. They were still delicious! Everyone says these are the best burgers they ever had-- so juicy and full of flavor. There is no need for the butter in my opinion if you want to make it healthier. The meat has enough flavor and fat. I served them with a grilled onion...amazing!
