These burgers have evolved over a very long time of trying different ingredients and techniques. They got the name Bushka Burgers a slang Russian name given to me by my Russian husband in my efforts to produce the perfect burger. They are moist, juicy and big on flavor. Serve them with your favorite burger garnishes and watch them disappear! Ingredients:
2 lbs lean ground beef |
1 egg, beaten |
1 medium onion, finely chopped |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
1/4 cup ketchup |
2 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped |
1 tablespoon liquid smoke |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce |
kosher salt |
fresh ground black pepper |
8 large hamburger buns |
1/2 cup melted butter |
Directions:
1. COMBINE in a large bowl, the beef, egg, onion, garlic, ketchup, 2 tbsp butter, parsley, Liquid smoke, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt and black pepper. (Do not overwork the mixture, otherwise your burgers will be tough.)
2. FORM into 8 equal-sized flatter patties. Separate each burger with wax paper, stack and put into the freezer to firm them up.(This helps them to cook evenly and stay together.)
3. PREHEAT grill to medium-high.(Apply a little vegetable oil to the grate before you fire it up and your burgers won't stick to the grate.)
4. GRILL burgers to desired doneness turning only once.
5. BRUSH burger buns with the remaining 1/2 cup melted butter and grill cut side down until crisp and golden brown.
