I sweated-off some of the fat before making the sauce and this was the result - a quarter of an inch deep in a large pan. They were still too fatty even after sweating.
If you ate two of these burgers 4 times a week for a year, I reckon you would have a heart attack fairly soon after.
Tonight I am making a very lean venison casserole...
The fat in the pan reminds me of chip pans back in the nineteen seventies full of lard and dripping and steam and water running down the kitchen walls. Not forgetting steamed up bus windows and everyone smoking upstairs. I wonder who invented Crisp and Dry cooking oil?
ReplyDeleteSorry to butt in on your comment but YES !!!! My Mum's chip pan looked just like that in the 1950's, with bits of burnt food stuck in it ! XXXX
DeleteThat was my childhood - until my mother heard of Crisp and Dry.
DeleteYou will have to fork out for more expensive burgers or lean mince next time Tom !!! XXXX
ReplyDeleteI normally do.
DeleteYou sound like the old Aga Khan - are you old enough to remember him (worth his weight in gold each birthday)? A man who can cook as well - wow - almost unique off the screen in my somewhat limited experience.
ReplyDeleteI remember hearing of him. I do all the cooking Weave.
DeleteWow! That's a lot of fat.
ReplyDeleteYep.
DeleteUgh.
ReplyDeleteMy feelings exactly.
DeleteThat's a lot of fat! I like good beef and find Kansas City Steaks the absolute best for steaks, burgers and prime rib roast. Never fail and delicious every time. Your venison sounds pretty good too.
ReplyDeleteI expect that is not what your essentially expected from those burgers. What crap to be foisting on people.
ReplyDeleteI hate fatty hamburger meat! Yuck. And cleaning up after it is awful.
ReplyDeleteThat is a huge amount of grease. It makes you wonder just how much weight your meat patties lost during the cooking process. Here, the thing to do is to take bread crusts or rolled oats, heat up the fat, and stir the torn up crusts or oats in. Let them absorb the grease and then use them to feed the birds in winter. I'm not sure that you live in an area where you can do that though.
