Faux Steak Tartar Burgers… and a drink.

Well, this will be short and sweet. I mean, come on. It's a burger. But it tastes really good.

So, you're gonna need parsley, shallot, Worcestershire sauce, capers, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, and an egg yolk.

No surprise here: Put it in a bowl with some ground meat, and mix to combine. In an effete twist, I'm using ground buffalo.

Here’s a little trick I learned. Make a divot in the middle of the patty, and when you cook it, you won't get that bulge in the middle that makes it so hard to cook evenly.

Serve on an English muffin, and a salad (optional).

A simple recipe calls for a simple drink. Mint Juleps!

Pretty simple… Fresh mint, crushed ice, powdered sugar.

Oh, and bourbon.

(my parent's library… I couldn't resist)

Muddle mint, sugar, and a bit of water in the glass.

Add crushed ice.

Pour in bourbon.

Add more ice, garnish with mint, and serve with vintage Tiffany silver straws.

Fan yourself and say, "Lawsy!"

Our mint is yours to muddle. Next time we'll have a better grade of bourbon. Love, Mom
