There are many restaurant copycat recipes that claim this, and that said, in my true opinion, this is the simplest but without a shadow of doubt the best hamburger recipe in the world!

To achieve perfection you will need some ground minced beef of extraordinary proportions this being 1 to 1.5 pounds of minced chuck steak. This was really easy for me being a Master butcher of course, but you will want to ask the local butcher kindly , and I am sure he will be only too euphoric to oblige. The reason we are looking for ground mince using only the chuck meat is due to the fat content. The ultimate hamburger requires approximately a 20% fat content to flavour the meat whilst cooking and the beef fat marbleized within the chuck meat is perfect for this.

You will need to be careful when handling the mince and meld, use your hands but don’t over mix the ground beef, for perfection purposes the heat of your hands will start to break down some of the fat content, and we want this to occur once it is cooking.

1 x small onion finley chopped (as small as you can)

1/2  Teaspoon of thyme (fresh is best but dried will do)

Half a Tea Spoon of salt and a touch of freshly ground black pepper

Combine all the ingredients together in a bowl and form patties around half an inch in heaviness. You should get around 4 burger patties from this.

Get your grill prepared on a medium to high heat and bring up to temperature. Gently put on the grill for around 4 mins. one side and 3 minutes the other being careful not to disrupt your patties as you turn them.

When you host a cocktail party it is a very entertaining way to have so great time with your family and friends.  But when you serve alcohol your guest are sure to appreciate a few bites of food.  As you are thinking about what to serve you should also think about how many people so you can have an idea on how much food you will need.  As a rule of thumb, estimate six bites per person for every hour.  However depending on the guests I would calculate a bit more then that.

Finger foods are good for cocktail parties.  They can be prepared prior to the cocktail party and they require little clean up.

It is a wise choice to have some napkins or paper plates also.  Your guests will have an opportunity to walk around and talk while they snack.  Little clean up will be involved.

Appetizers as a rule are small in portion usually bite size.  Sausage rolls, mini cheesecakes, chocolate dipped strawberries are all awesome ideas for cocktail party food.  Pair up smoked salmon or caviar with martinis.  Or you may choose to go simply with cheese trays paired with wine.

You need to enjoy yourself so be sure that the cocktail party food that you choose is simple and will not require a lot of running back and forth from the kitchen.  If the host can be no wheres to be found then some of the guests may begin to feel a bit uncomfortable.  Make sure that you have chosen a food that you are familiar with, and a food that can be made ahead of time.  The last thing that you need to be doing is slave in the kitchen when there is a fabulous cocktail party going on right on the other side of kitchen door.
