This is a great recipe for those who love the taste of a classic homemade beef burger. Obviously, you don’t need to mince your own meat for burgers, but if you do, tri-tip is a great cut of beef for it. Fairly lean but tender and tasty. Likewise, you don’t have to use this mixture for burgers, it will make great meatballs, meatloaves or I guess any meat shape you like.
The recipe makes 4 regular or 8 smaller burger patties.
