• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 4
• Yields: 4 burgers

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup  finely chopped celery
• 1⁄4  cupchicken broth
• 2  lbs  ground  top sirloin steaks
• 1⁄4 cup  breadcrumbs
• 1⁄2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg
•  salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 3  tablespoons butter

Directions

1. Combine celery and chicken broth in a small saucepan over very low heat; poach the celery for 20 minutes. Drain and cool. Combine celery with remaining ingredients except the butter, mixing well with your hands. Gently shape into 4 large patties, being careful not to compact the meat any more than necessary. Heat the butter in a large, heavy skillet over moderate heat until the butter is amber in color. Brown the burgers 6 minutes on each side, then place the skillet in a preheated 350F oven for 6 to 8 minutes for medium rare, a few additional minutes for better done.
