Tips
- The meat ratio of 2 parts beef to 1 part pork provides a perfect balance of rich flavor and juicy texture.
- Adding mayonnaise helps keep the meat juicy inside while cooking due to its emulsified fats.
- Clap the mixture back-and-forth between your hands a few times to press out any air bubbles before shaping.
- Press a little thumbprint into the center of the patty to help it cook evenly.
