Beef burgers

Beef patties are ground portions of beef, typically from select cuts such as chuck, brisket, or flank, which are shaped into a circular form and are primarily used to prepare sandwiches or dishes inspired by fast food. This ingredient is very versatile and is characterized by its intense flavor and juiciness, provided they are cooked properly.

The origin of the beef patty traces back to the influence of German immigrants in the United States, who brought the idea of ground meat in the form of a steak. Over time, it became popular as a quick and hearty meal, evolving into a worldwide culinary icon.

Regarding its properties, the beef patty is an excellent source of high-quality protein, iron, zinc, and B-complex vitamins, especially B12, which are essential for the formation of red blood cells and the proper functioning of the nervous system. However, due to its saturated fat content, it is advisable to consume it in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

In the Hispanic world, the beef patty is also known by different terms depending on the region, such as: hamburguesa (general use), carne molida para hamburguesa (ground meat for burgers), or filete de carne molida (ground meat steak) in some countries. However, the term hamburguesa is the most universal and recognized across all variants of Hispanic cuisine.
