Servings: 4 burger patties
Calories: 181kcal
Equipment
- Meat grinder optional
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef brisket ground
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl or container, combine the salt, smoked paprika, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper.
- Form the ground brisket into 4 patties per pound. If you haven’t ground the brisket yet, see the notes below for tips on how to prep and grind it.
- Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over both sides of each burger.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Sear the burgers until a crust forms, then flip once and finish cooking to your desired doneness.
Notes
- I like to pull the brisket out of the freezer two days in advance. By the time I'm ready to prep, it’s usually just slightly frozen, which is the perfect texture for slicing and grinding.
- To prepare your brisket, cut away any excess fat, then dice the meat into around 1" cubes. Grind your brisket using the coarse setting. If you want a finer texture, you can run it through again with the fine blade.
- Feel free to grill the burgers if that's your desired cooking method.

- No need to add oil to the skillet; the fat in the brisket is enough to keep them from sticking.
- To make an even more decadent burger, try cooking it with cheese in the middle. I share all about how to do that in my cheese stuffed burger recipe.
