Learn how to make the mythic, gargantuan “Meatsiah” from Bob’s Burgers

Rea starts by offering some tips on how to make freshly ground beef without a meat grinder (basically just cube the beef, freeze it, and grind it in a food processor). From there he dives into the recipes themselves, which come from the official Bob’s Burgers Burger Book cookbook. While the chive and the black-garlic burgers look delicious, the showstopper is clearly The Meatsiah. It consists of beef tartare inside a burger medium-well inside a “Burger Wellington.” Rea takes viewers through the steps of this complicated burger monstrosity, offering tips and tricks along the way. For instance, freezing or refrigerating the beef tartare will ensure it doesn’t cook inside the burger while the whole thing is baking. Indeed, the final burger, though insanely decadent, actually holds together much better than expected.
