Directions
-
Step 1
Prepare hamburger into patties
-
Step 2
Place each patty in a cooking pouch
-
Step 3
Add a few ounces of chicken broth, enough to cover patty when air is evacuated.
-
Step 4
Submerge each pouch to just above water line, to remove air, and seal pouch.
-
Step 5
Cook to your preference, I cook to 127°, for medium rare centers.
-
Step 6
While the hamburger patties are cooking, prepare the other ingredients.
-
Step 7
When ready to remove patties from water, warm up the grill, or a frying pan, to very high heat.
-
Step 8
Remove each patty, pat dry with a paper towel, add salt and pepper, and place on hot grill or a frying pan to sear.
-
Step 9
Sear each side for 1 to 2 minutes, depending upon how hot the surface is. You want the meat to be nicely browned, but not overcooked internally.
-
Step 10
While the meat is searing, start toasting the buns/bread lightly. Once the first sides are seared, flip and put cheese slices on, cover meat to help melt the cheese, and turn down heat to low.
-
Step 11
Once the cheese has melted, about one more minute, remove each patty and place on bread/bun, with a slice of tomato, lettuce and condiments to preference.
