From the Test Kitchen
  • Variation Hanger Steak Burger:Cut about 2 pounds cold hanger steak in 1-inch pieces. Put through a meat grinder or place 1/4 at a time in food processor; pulse until finely ground. Season, shape into patties, and grill as above. Makes 6 servings.
  • Note Direct Grilling:For this method, the food is placed on the grill rack directly over the heat source. Direct grilling is best for searing and cooking small, tender cuts that cook in 30 minutes or less, such as steaks, burgers, or boneless chicken.

Elizabeth, this is one of THE best burgers ever. I make it often! About those calories, and the fat... It's not like you're doing this all the time. You can make them somewhat lighter by using reduced-fat Cheddar. You're good!
