Last year I bought the KitchenAid and with some of alll the accesories it has, I bought also the meat-food-grinder. It’s big premiere was the way it had to be: with the best-quality meat in order to make the best home-made hamburguers. If you want to keep on with this home-made fever I strongly recommend you should also bake these delicious hamburguer breads that I baked a few days ago in Berlin. Soon I’ll be making my own ketchup and barbecue sauce, and if you have any more things you’d like me to make, just write me!! Waiting for all your comments 🙂

We made these hamburguers with mushrooms and sauteed onions, melted cheese and the classic tomato-lettuce and sauces. Enjoy them with a cold coke, french fries and a movie!!

Ingredients

4 sirloin steaks of 125 gr each
1 egg
2 sandwich bread cheese slices
2 hamburguer breads
1 onion cut into thin slices
6 mushrooms cut into thin slices
Lettuce, tomato
3 big potatoes
Ketchup, mustard and home-made mayonnaise
Oil to fry
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions

Cut the steak into pieces so that they can go through the meat-grinder. If you don't have a meat grinder (it does not need to be the KitchenAid meat-grinder, just a regular also) ask the butcher to give it to you grinded already or cut it into really really small pieces with a good knife.
Once the meat is grinded, add salt and pepper.
Add the egg, this will keep the meat together. Shape to big hamburguers. Let stand.
Note: I didn't want to add anything else because of the high-quality meat but you cann add soja sauce, english sauce, sliced onions, jalapeños, whatever you want!! However, if you do buy the best quality meat, I recommend you don't add anything to it.
Wash, peel and cut the potatoes into french fries shape.
Fry in oil until done. Add salt.
While the potatoes are being fried you can make the home-made mayonnaise.
In a pan with some olive oil in it, fry the onions with the mushrooms. Add salt and pepper.
En una sartén con un poco de aceite de oliva dorar las cebollas junto con los champiñones. Salpimentar y reservar.
Finally, fry the hamburguers to the point you wish (I always love it medium-raw). Once you turn them, add the mushrooms and onions and the cheese slice on top, cook until the cheese melts.
Place the hamburguers over the bread. Serve with sliced-tomatoes, lettuce and the sauces you prefer. French fries. Cold coke. Enjoy!!!
