Terrible grilled burgers, why?

My wife wants burgers tonight. What am to do with all the tri tip I bought? I wish I had a meat grinder.

Donate it to a shelter

I believe I've seen a chef on TV take 2 chef's knives and chop up some beef pretty fine.

As in doing a drum solo on the cutting board? I might just experiment with one tri tip to see how it turns out.

Yes! It might have been Morimoto, but I can't really remember.

I ground some chuck in the food processor once, the results were somewhat, um, chunky and uneven. My mom used to have an old fashioned meat grinder that would probably have worked better.

Hope you find a use for your tri tip, Roadfix!

I decided to do both. Formed eight 1/3 lb patties. Garlic, S & P on the tri tip...

Perfect compromise! Looks good!
