Maybe I'm trying to get something that doesn't exist? I need to cook well done burgers for my guests (over 155 degrees, no pink). I can't find a way to make a juicy burger at that temp. Ideas?
I can get them juicy when they come off the BBQ but after they have been in the bun for a few bites the juices are gone and the meat has a dry texture.
I'm doing an indirect cook with a reverse sear putting them on the sear at around 140 -145 with the sear taking them to 155.
I've been experimenting with Chuck burger. The first batch was 22 percent fat. I added 20 percent bacon to the second batch. I got custom ground Chuck for the third batch at around 35% fat (no added bacon).
All of the above were nice coming off the BBQ but I got feedback they were dry as people ate them.
Maybe this is as good as it gets for jucyness?
