The Club 21 Burger - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs ground sirloin or 2 lbs beef
2 tablespoons Crisco (or 4 TBS duck fat)
1 teaspoon ground fennel
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced
1 whole egg
4 tablespoons onions, minced

Preparation

In a mixing bowl add the beef, Crisco or duck fat, fennel, cayenne pepper, ground pepper, thyme, rosemary, egg and onion.
Mix until all ingredients are incorporated evenly.
Divide the beef mixture into four, 8-ounce burgers.
Pack and shape them tightly.
On a hot grill place the burger and cook for approximately 4 1/2 minutes on each side for a medium rare temperature (cook longer for a more well-done burger if desired.)
Serve on a bun.
