I've heard of sirloin burgers...kobe burgers...but has anyone ever had a ribeye burger? Ribeyes are my favorite cut of steak because it's so flavorful and juicy so I thought about grinding it into a hamburger. Any thoughts?

Can I do it in a blender?quote:Originally posted by PurpleHaze:
I've done it, with good success. Trim the "hard" fat, but leave as much soft marbling as you can. Use a coarse grind and pack loosely. Cook it hot and fast. Should be tasty. Post your results. I need some humor in my life lately!!

Don't you have some wine or something to go "market?"quote:Originally posted by pyang:
Your instruction is not precise enough, please specify the weight of ribeye to use, exactly ounce of hard fat to trim down to .001, lastly, packing pressure.![]()

A meat grinder? Why would I need a meat grinder? I refuse to buy a food processor because anything a food processor can do, a blender can somewhat do.
Theoretically, will a blender grind the meat into hamburger meat?
I don't have room in my kitchen for another piece of equipment; nevertheless, a piece of equipment I will use only a few times a year. I have no desire to make sausage.quote:Originally posted by PurpleHaze:
A meat grinder is $30. You can use it to make sausage and other good stuff. Buy one. Or send me your frikkin' ribeye, and I'll grind it for you.

Actually BD, you are smart not to own a meat grinder.

Eric beat me to it. Bella, use snow tires for ribeye, off-road tires for chuck, and high performance tires for tenderloin. Use a little road salt for the softer cuts, but calcium chloride is best for chuck.
You'll find much better help on ebob.

This was exactly the answer I was looking for. Thanks.quote:Originally posted by Berno:
Using a blender or food processor would would basically cause air to be added to the meat. That would cause dry shrunken burgers.

I'm going to the store later on and seeing if they will grind the ribeye for me.

Now that's an understatement.
Bella, don't have them grind ribeyes for heaven's sake. It really is a horrible waste of an expensive cut of beef.

I don't agree with that, Berno. I use a food processor all the time to chop things - it's called "pulsing." I also do things like pesto in the blender. No air issues. And in a pinch, I've used a blender using the same technique. A blender is much more difficult, but the downside is not about aeration.
In the distant past, I remember actually using a food processor once or twice to chop meat for hamburgers (adding other ingredients also). It is not nearly as good as grinding meat, but it's possible to do it and still yield a decent burger. The essential problem (in my experience) is not about air, it's about shredding the meat too fine - the texture is all wrong. Just my two cents.

Can't you just let her use her blender to make burgers out of ribeye steaks? I'm seriously pissed you guys have talked her out of it.

Uhhh... aren't you forgetting who we're talking about? She ran over steaks with an SUV to tenderize them, couldn't follow a simple marinara sauce recipe (and then blamed the person who provided the recipe), and marvels over salmon with cheddar cheese...
