Description
What is in our burger mince?
The blend combines chuck for deep beef flavour, brisket for richness and succulence, and short rib for additional flavour and tenderness. Unlike ordinary all-purpose mince, this blend has been put together specifically with burgers in mind.
How to make smash burgers
Divide the mince into loose portions without compressing them. Put each portion onto a very hot griddle or heavy pan and smash firmly at the start of cooking to maximise contact with the surface and develop a well-browned crust. Season just before cooking.
For thicker burgers
Handle the mince as little as possible and shape it gently into patties. Avoid packing the meat too tightly, which can produce a dense burger.
Cooking safely
As this is minced beef, cook the burgers thoroughly. Use a clean probe thermometer if required and follow a validated safe time and temperature combination, such as 70°C for 2 minutes.

I have spent time grinding my own beef with the recommended mix of different cuts to get that authentic burger! These guys have taken the hassle out making truly authentic patties. Texture is superb!!!

These made the best burgers I’ve had in the UK. I’ve lived in the US for 20 years and on returning to the UK have found most burgers a bit bland. This meat makes really tasty ones.
