Ingredients

1 large egg
¼ cup (30g) bread crumbs
2-3 tablespoons (30-45ml) Worcestershire sauce
1½ pounds (680g) beef brisket, ground
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon green onions, minced (or regular onions)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons burger seasoning (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Brisket and Grill

Start by trimming any excess fat from the brisket. Use a meat grinder to grind the brisket, or ask your butcher to do it for you. Alternatively, you can purchase pre-ground brisket from a local market or butcher
Preheat a gas grill to medium-high heat (around 400-450°F or 204-232°C). If using a charcoal grill, light the coals and let them burn until covered with white ash. Create a two-zone fire by placing the charcoal on one side of the grill, leaving the other side without charcoal.
In a small or medium bowl, combine eggs, Worcestershire sauce, and bread crumbs. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined.
Add the ground brisket to the bowl. Also, add minced garlic, minced green onions, salt, and pepper, seasoned to taste. Optionally, include 1-2 tablespoons of burger seasoning for enhanced flavor.
Use your hands or a spoon to thoroughly mix all the ingredients together until well incorporated.
Divide the mixture into equal portions, depending on the number of burgers you want to make. Aim for 6-8 patties. Ensure they are evenly thick and slightly larger than your burger buns.
Repeat the process until all the minced brisket is used.

Grill the Brisket Burgers

Place the prepared burger patties on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes per side without moving them to achieve a nice sear on the outside.
Continue grilling the burgers until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for a safe and delicious result.
If desired, during the last 2 minutes of grilling, toast the burger buns on the grill to add a delightful crispness.
Remove the burgers from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes. This helps retain their juices and ensures a flavorful bite.
Serve the delicious brisket burgers on toasted buns. Enhance their taste by adding your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, onion, or cheese.
Sit back, savor the flavors, and enjoy your perfectly grilled brisket burgers!

Notes

Choose a mixture of fat and lean portions for a nice, juicy burger when making brisket burgers. The fat is what adds flavor and prevents the patty from drying out.
When making the patties, avoid overmixing them, as it can toughen the burger. Mix with your hands until the ingredients barely combine.
On a gas grill, turn off one side if the outside of the burger cooks too fast, then move your patties to the unlit side, away from direct heat. That way, they cook evenly without burning.
If you're using a charcoal grill, create a two-zone fire by placing the charcoal on one side and leaving the other empty. That way, you can move the burgers to the cooler side if they start cooking too quickly.
