Instructions
1. Hamburger Sauce
2. Steaks
Season the minced beef with salt. Mould the minced beef into a wide stick carefully, so you won´t break the “muscle fibers” made by the meat grinder. Cut the stick into four steaks with a sharp knife. The steaks should be the size of buns in diameter. Fry the steaks just before serving! Heat the frying pan on a really hot plate and add oil onto pan. Fry the steaks either one by one or many at a time, depending on how many you can fit onto the pan at the same time. Fry the steak first on one side for 15 seconds and then turn. Repeat this until the steak is well browned, but red on the inside. This takes about 3-5 minutes. Lift the steaks into an oven pan to set before serving for at least 5 minutes, and season with pepper. Lastly, add butter on pan and brown it. Lather the browned butter onto steaks. Don’t wash the pan, all taste from the pan is gathered into buns.
