    I made this for dinner last night exactly how you made it in this video and OMG it was delicious! I put some horseradish, ketchup and mustard on it and that really amped up the flavor. Never knew horseradish would elevate a burger like that, it’s my new go-to condiment. And I confess, I saved the broth from the meat and onions. I don’t know what I’m gonna do with it but it was too good to throw away. I’m thinking of making a sauce or gravy with it or add it to a stew.

      I say cook some rice in the leftover broth. I saved the broth/juice from the last time I made pulled pork. I reduced it a bit and then turned it into ice cubes. The plan is to make pulled pork flavored rice. I did the same with the leftover juice from canning tomatoes. I figure that would be excellent for making Mexican rice! 😉

      I make a pork chop and onion gravy dish that uses this same concept. The pork chops are seared then removed from the pan. The onions are browned in the pork drippings, and then the water is added. I use vegetable broth instead of water. After adding the water/broth return the chops to the pan, cover and finish cooking. I'm going to use these steps, but I won't cover the burgers in the pan.

It looks like maybe you didn't pull the back legs out quite far enough, if it's out all the way the niche in the tub should fit over the ledge of the legs and lock in against the bottom of the slicer. If you've got it set up right, you can slap it as hard and fast as you like! 😄

    We had a restaurant in my hometown called Pete's. It was one of those local diners that made cheap, simple food. He made what he called "stew burgers". They were burgers cooked in water with onions. They were good, but that water does really dilute the flavor of the burger. I found recipes for what's called the Oklahoma onion burger (this site might have a recipe like that). I made them yesterday, and they combined the best of both this style and the flavor I wanted. Pretty simple.....smash burgers on a flat cast iron cook plate I put on my grill. I melted some butter on the plate, smashed the burgers, and piled thinly sliced onions (I used my mandolin) so the burgers were covered with a mound of onions. While they cooked, I put my buns, opened, flat side down, on top of the onions. The onion steam gave the buns a great onion taste. Removed the buns, flipped over the onions/patty, so the onions were underneath the burger, and continued to cook for a few more minutes. They were surprisingly amazing. Very flavorful.

    My mom told me when she worked as a candy girl at a movie theater in the early 1960's, they would prep burgers (yes, a movie theater with more than popcorn and candy! Gasp!) like this. And she would make them for us the same way when she got frozen patties though not quite so much onion. It made them taste really good.

    My mom taught me how to cook burgers in water. You don't need to make an onion broth. Sear both sides in a high top frying pan. Usually 2-4 burgers. Deglaze the pan(with water) once the burgers are sealed on borh sides without taking the burgers out. You will just put enough water to reach 1/3 to 1/2 way up the burgers put em on high heat with the lid on 2-4 min on each side until they are done enough for you. Then use another pan to sauté those onions properly and top your burgers with carmelized onions and whatever else you like. It takes alot of the fat out cooking it this way so you can get away with 80/20 if you use 85 or 93% burger it will be more dry. Its a great way to cook frozen patties though

Same 80/20 mix, I used ground chuck, made my patties a little bigger at 8 oz. Hell if they'd been 16 oz patties we would have finished them off, they were so good. Added a slice of white American cheese and spicy brown mustard. This is now on permanent rotation for meals in our house. WELL DONE!

    NOT a fantastic piece of equipment, but RATHER a fantastic IDEA. Have one designed and then built in the manner that it would have been prior to 1972, which was the year that President Richard Milhouse Nixon visited the then-3rd-world country called CHINA. Prior to that, most of our stuff was made in-house (USA) or in Japan (post-war). The reason EVERYTHING is "made in China" is because AT THAT TIME, they had oodles and oodles of peeps what worked cheap. That too is changing, which is a different topic...

  • @bobartig
    @bobartig Год назад

    @3:00, package of meat says it's .895 lbs, or 14.3 oz. The patties all look about the same size, or roughly 3.6 oz each. Resulting burger should be like 7-8 oz, and it just looks HUGE for a "5 oz." burger. All that said none of that really messes up the recipe in any way.

  • @marykimberlyhayes

    No, No, No, & No ! I moved to Prairie du Chien, WI in 1988 from the 'burbs of Chicago. In 2001 I moved across the Mississippi River over the bridge to McGregor, IA 2 miles away and opened a 38 seat Bistro where I made eclectic lunches & dinner. Pastured Pork, Dry Aged Beef, organic vegetables, etc. This is a tourist area from June -October due to the River traffic.
    I ate my 1st and only Pete's Burger in 1989 and one was all I needed . I can still taste & smell what was the WORST burger I have ever eaten. First off, I applaud what the family of Pete's has done. They sent their kids and continued generations to College with this small business. And yes it is a success! I applaud them! Though in reality what you made and what the actual product is are nite & day. The SMELL of a Pete's Burger....in my opinion, is VILE! Poached meat....NO THANKS!
    I can't even drive down the main drag in PdC on weekends in the summer when Pete's is open. If your windows are down, it gags you. Having said that, tourists get excited and stand in line to eat this burger. I've entered peoples houses and asked what smells so bad and they have to confess pointing to a bag that they went to Pete's for a burger. YUCK! I guess I'm spoiled having grown up eating GREAT sandwiches, pizza & burgers in the Chicago 'burbs. Steve, your burger was 3 times the size of what they sell and didn't have all that 'as you say broth' lingering on the flat top grill all day. People tell me it's something you have to grow up with to appreciate. Your burgewr was actually medium, I saw some pink. This is a grey blob poached, it's like bad meatloaf. Sorry I don't eat grey smelly meat. Give me a rare burger with a slice of raw onion and call it a day! After having lived in the area for 35 years I have encountered many others that feel Pete's is just as revolting as I do.
    Again let me say, I applaud the family for their entrepreneurship & success.......BRAVO! I have even heard local rumble's that originally just a bit of water was put on the grill which we've seen on many flat tops to say steam the cheese at the last moment. This whole flooding the grill business making the poached meat & onions smells like hell! Steve you put lipstick on a pig! I might be able to choke down what you made.......yet what you made and what Pete's make is nite & day! I wish continued success to Pete's for generations to come. I can still taste the one I ate in 1989.........ick!

    Just have to say that you did Pete’s a disservice. They offer: Soggy bun, meat, onion, water. My friend I went with and had the owner raise his voice when he asked for cheese. “CHEESE?!? DID YOU SAY CHEEEEESE?!?”
    So ya no toasted bun or condiments

  • @TSD0416

    Good God ! I didn't know cooking burgers in water was a thing. I've been doing it forever. I don't have a charcoal BBQ and winters in Canada are definitely not "at home" burger season. Also, I hate washing, drying and seasoning my cast iron skillet. So one day many years ago, I decided to cook the burgers in a regular pan but it kept drying so I added water to the pan and cooked the burgers in water. Much to my surprise, my husband LOVED those burgers and I've been cooking them in water ever since. Interestingly enough, my husband only adds onions on top of his burger and nothing else. My burger on the other hand has everything on it and in this order: cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, ketchup, mustard and mayo on both upper and lower half of the bun. I've never tried horseradish, but I think I will try it next time I make burgers. Thank you for all your videos. I enjoy all of them. Keep up the excellent work. A+

    On a culinary level, it feels like the beginnings of a Salisbury Steak( poor man's steak). That broth is liquid gold.. multiple burgers made I.e. more "savory" meat flavor, which goes well with onion. Evaporation causes concentration of the broth. Coupled with bits of "fond"; God bless the Maillard reaction, simplicity & a boon with respect to flavor. Old school rocks.

    Pete's hamburgers oh boy. From my hometown, Prairie du Chien, WI. I get them every time I'm back home.
    I worked at the restaurant that supplied the ingredients, too.
    -80/20 ground chuck
    -Our baker made them brioche buns weekly
    -Vidalia onions.
    After that it's just patients with the cook. Let those bad boys take a bath. You will smell like an armpit when your done.

    The burger was invented before this Pete. Louis Lassen served his first burger in his Louis Café in New Heaven 1895! He served it with two slices of white bread. Then Oscar Weber Bilby from Oklahoma came and served it in a bun. In 1904, the New York Tribune, made it an official dish.

  • @dionysos7735

    Interesting 🤔!
    Kinda reminds me of onion roast beef (one of the simplest, but best sauce steaks i know).
    > Cover your roastbeef in fine and starchy wheat flour ("W700 glatt" in Austria) and roast it until golden brown.
    > Put the beef aside, preferably in the oven on low heat.
    > Meanwhile slowly caramelize a shit ton of onions in the same pan.
    > Put the beef back in the pan and cover everything with 50/50 beef broth and red wine.
    > You can add bay leaves, thyme and other herbs.
    > Put the lid on the pan and let it cook on medium to low heat for 1,5 - 2,5 hours.
    > Put the beef back out again, greatly reduce the sauce, properly season it and maybe round it up with some butter and/or honey.
    > Put the beef on the plate first, then completely cover it with the sauce and onions and on top of that garnish with a ton of fried onions.
    > As side dish I would recommend Spätzle and butter string beans with bacon.

I never cooked onions like that. Very interesting. I never cooked a burger in fluid like that. Also very interesting. I never put horseradish on a burger. Hmm... also interesting. Is that a gray burger that you're chowing into? Very curious. Soooo, must have a go! Thanks, Steve! You are a good teacher. But that mandolin...😳

  • @themadhatter227

    This looks disgusting. I'm from Wisconsin and would still never simmer onions and ground beef like this. I would get a much deeper caramelization.
    The burger still needs a crust for me to enjoy it. So let the maillard reaction happen. Drop in a knob of butter and then pour in a few splashes of Miller High Life beer, and simmer till it's reduced.
    Assemble it like you know it should be.
    Recipe fixed. You're welcome.

    As a ground beef aficionado I give these an 8.5 out of 10. Yes, different from what I am used to but and simple / good. My 10 out of 10 burger is the same materials used here, but over a wood-burning-coals fire-mellow coals. I would cook burgers like this (onions, ground meat, salt, pepper, potato rolls) over my metal fireplace grate over these wood coals in our Apartment in Alabama and man they came out superb! Thank you for the video.

    Hey mate, I love the adaptation you created from the Wisconsin foodie video about Pete's burgers. I've never been to the US (I'm in Australia) but I made an adaptation on your method, by making 9 patties and cooking 3 at a time so the broth intensifies with that beef flavour as much as you can. Worth a try! Cheers!
