Sometimes, there are standouts that define a genre. The ‘21’ Burger by Executive Chef John Greeley of New York’s famed 21 Club focuses most of his efforts on fine cuisine.
At 21 Club, though, customers also want a luxury burger. In honor of National Hamburger Day, May 28th, here’s Chef Greeley’s recipe, which uses duck fat to add panache:
21 BURGER RECIPE
Yields 8 burgers.
Ingredients
2 pounds ground sirloin or chuck, or a combination
4 tablespoons duck fat or 2 tablespoons Crisco
1 teaspoon ground fennel seed
