Ingredients
  

Steaks

  • 2 lbs ground beef 93% lean
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper

Tomato Garlic Sauce

  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup tomato juice
  • 1 tbsp catsup
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • STEAK (pt 1): Add beef, milk, whisked egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt and ground pepper into a large bowl. Mix together until fully incorporated. Cover and chill in refrigerator and let marinate overnight.
  • SAUCE: The next day, grate garlic in garlic press. Turn on cooktop to low. Add garlic with butter into a small saucepan until it melts. Then add 2 tbsp of flour. Cook it through while constantly stirring. You are making a roux. When this mixture becomes just a little bit brown, add 1 cup tomato juice and stir until it thickens. Then add in catsup, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and ground pepper to taste. Set that to the side. 
  • STEAKS (pt 2): Get out marinated ground beef and make into patties (should make 6-8 depending on how large you want them). In a large skillet, cook up four patties at a time. OR, for next level cooking, use a cast iron grill press (following the instructions given for your product) to sear the outside of the steaks before heating up the cooktop to medium and cooking the steaks on the inside. The steaks will take several minutes per side to cook through. You can also accomplish this on an outdoor grill.
  • Once fully cooked, serve your steak with the special tomato garlic sauce, serve and enjoy!

Notes

Can freeze cooked burgers for later use with parchment paper in between in an airtight container or ziplock bag. Can also freeze sauce. Recommend freezing flattened in ziplock freezer bags is best. Then you can break off the portion you want so you don't have to thaw out the entire bag of sauce.
