Hamburgers Au Poivre image

This is an adoptee. I made some significant changes 02/23/05 that I feel improve the recipe greatly. I hope you feel the same. Hamburger steak is underrated in my book.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb beef, Ground
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 -3 tablespoons black pepper, Freshly Cracked (Or To Taste.)
1 tablespoon brandy (optional) or 1 tablespoon cognac (optional)
3 tablespoons red wine, Dry (optional)
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Mix meat and salt.
  • Shape mixture into 4 patties, each about 3/4 of an inch thick.
  • Press pepper into both sides of the patties.
  • Cook the patties in a large skillet ( I use cast iron)over medium-high heat, turning once, until the desired doneness is reached, about 8 minutes.
  • Drain off the fat.
  • Sprinkle the cognac over the patties, immediately ignite, if desired; THIS STEP IS FROM THE ORIGINAL RECIPE, I LEFT IT BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS COOL, I did NOT ignite my burger and it was delicious ;).
  • Remove patties to a warm platter.
  • Stir the wine into the drippings in the skillet.
  • Heat just to boiling, stirring constantly.
  • Whisk butter, small pieces at a time, into the sauce.
  • Serve sauce over the patties.
