Beef, heat, burger press.
I got a new phone a few days ago so I don't have the photo, but immediately prior to that I'd made good ol' smash burgers and I'm convinced that god put cattle on this earth for that particular purpose.
If I ever remember to get the photos off the old phone I'll put one on here - LC's in the northland ain't got shit on me.
The funny thing is that this cow is just way too lean; we had him butchered too young. So the patty's are easy 90% lean and make TERRIBLE hamburgers because of it. Hell, it's so lean I have to put water in taco meat to keep THAT from drying out. On its own it's pretty much only good for spaghetti sauce.
I mowed through 10 lbs or more trying to figure out how to salvage the stuff. Finally got to 2 yokes/lb and a squirt of vegetable oil into the mix before forming the balls to smash.
You just absolutely need the fat in hamburger. Lean ground beef just scorches before it fries up and you end up with a bland sort of charred nothingness.
