I made this in the 80's, when I cut out this recipe from the 60 minute Gourmet. Even with my feeble attempt, it was a memorable meal that my friend, who I shared(experimented) it, with wanted to make it, many times afterward. It is one of the truly simple recipes that will not only show you how to cook, but empower you to make decisions on what to season with. M. Franey was a very accomplished chef.
Delicious! Did not make the sauce since watching what I eat right now. Everyone loved. Makes a nice substantial burger, very juicy. Could have used more salt. At least a teaspoon!
Was skeptical but these were so good! Made per instructions, chose to use peanut oil.
