Barbecue Success Burger Tips
Hi, and now for and essay I have just done on my pet area of interest. If all goes well, I hope to be adding further content to this site during the next few weeks, so if you enjoy this document add me to your favourites. I will utilise my web site as a way to organise my feelings and get some of my opinions safely recorded where I can find them easily, I trust they are of use to everyone else. The article for today is named "Barbecue Success Burger Tips".
Summer and fall - and the long weekends in-between - are ideal times to fire up the grill and bring the family together for some outdoor fun.
Burgers, the quintessential barbecue fare, are among America's all-time favorite foods. For variety, top them with unconventional fixings, such as avocado slices, arugula, salsa and fresh basil.
For the best taste and optimum freshness, connoisseurs recommend organic ground beef.
"USDA-certified organic ground beef is made from animals that have not been injected with synthetic hormones or antibiotics, and that eat food free of animal byproducts and grown without pesticides," said Michael Levine, president of Organic Prairie Family of Farms, one of the nation's leading cooperatives of organic farmers and providers of organic meat.
Here are some burger-making tips from Organic Prairie.
* For best flavor, use 85 percent lean ground beef. If you choose leaner meat, add a splash of tomato juice or Worcestershire sauce to increase flavor and moisture.
* Finely mince any garlic, onions or other vegetables that will be mixed into the meat. Larger chunks will make the burger fall apart on the grill.
One of the nation's most popular foods is beef, and it has every right to be so.
In times of late, there has been a fair amount of controversy over whether beef is a beneficial food that should be on every plate, or a real problem food to be avoided and eaten only in small quantities.
Remember, there are a wide variety of different forms of beef - as well as different breeds of beef, such as Chianina - so if you are confused over which types of beef to buy, don't be scared to consult the butcher, they are generally all too happy to offer you advice.
* Wet clean hands prior to making the patties. The patties should be formed loosely, not packed or pressed, and should be about one-half-inch thick and slightly wider than the bun.
