How To Make pub grub essentials: steak chili/cheese burger

• 
  Step 1
  PREP/PREPARE
• 
  Step 2
  Gather Your Ingredients.
• 
  Step 3
  Rough grind the steak.
• 
  Step 4
  Chef’s Note: You have a few choices for grinding your steak. 1. You could use your own meat grinder. 2. You could put it in a food processor, fitted with an S-Blade, and give it a few 1-second pulses until it’s roughly ground. 3. You could have your butcher do it for you.
• 
  Step 5
  Chef’s Note: There are many advantages to grinding your own meat. It’s usually cheaper then pre-ground beef, and the taste of a freshly-ground burger is just so much better than pre-ground, pre-packaged, shrink-wrapped beef. It also reduces the chances for food-born illnesses.
• 
  Step 6
  Add the ground beef, onion, pepper, and grapeseed oil to a small bowl, and gently mix to combine.
• 
  Step 7
  Chef’s Tip: Never add salt to ground beef… never. When it cooks the salt will denature the proteins on the inside of the beef and give it a mushy mouth feel. Salt the outside before cooking, but never the inside.
• 
  Step 8
  Form the beef into a patty, but don’t press the meat together. It should have a cohesive structure without too much compaction.
• 
  Step 9
  Sprinkle with a bit of salt, on both sides.
• 
  Step 10
  Add the chili to a small saucepan and bring up to a simmer.
• 
  Step 11
  Place a sauté pan over medium heat, and allow the pan to get nice and hot.
• 
  Step 12
  Add the patty to the sauté pan.
• 
  Step 13
  Chef’s Tip: You should hear a nice sizzle as it hits the pan.
• 
  Step 14
  Chef's Note: Cook without moving for about 3 – 5 minutes.
• 
  Step 15
  Carefully flip, and then cook for an additional 3 – 5 minutes.

  Step 16
  PREP/PREPARE
