What Is a Prime Rib Burger?
Traditional burgers are made from ground beef, which is ground meat made from the less tender cuts of sirloin, round and chuck. Prime rib is from the beef forequarter, from the sixth through twelfth ribs. This cut has great marbling and is very tender, which is why it’s popular for grilling, frying and roasting.
Prime rib is more expensive and flavorful than ground beef, and for this reason, it is not typically used in burgers. However, in the past few years, prime rib burgers have become popular, especially in more upscale establishments.
Traditional thinking is that using prime rib will make for a juicier burger — but you can make a burger that is just as delicious without sacrificing prime rib.
Why Try This Prime Rib Burger Recipe?
Swine Life’s Prime Rib Style Burger doesn’t start with prime rib. Our professionals don’t believe it makes sense. Save your prime rib for Herb Crusted Prime Rib or another recipe where you don’t have to wreck your rib by grinding it. The full flavor will come through more fully when you keep the prime rib whole.
This recipe treats ground chuck like prime rib, using seasonings, butter and technique to elevate your burger to a prime-rib experience. When you add seasonings, burger ingredients and especially toppings, you won’t be able to tell the difference between prime rib and chuck, so why spend more on your burger when your Swine Life’s Prime Rib Style Burger can be even better? Your friends and family will still get an artisanal style burger worthy of the country clubhouse.
