quick qustion, 500g of mince, how many egg yolks needed to bind to make burgers?
One egg white mate, with 520 grams you will be able to make 3 quarter pounders
I always put a tiny bit of oil on the steak run it in. Then salt and pepper it.

Cooks the steak more evenly by oiling it. Then lob a bit of butter in the pan when the steak is nearly cooked. You have that much steak you may as well give it a go.. <ok>
Yes, but pointless if your pan isn’t smoking hot as the steak will not sear and will look and taste like a grey piece of cardboard.
 
i was told yolk, so gone with that...
That will ensure the moisture is kept inside. All depends on the cut of the beef mince you use, the egg white is the actual binding agent but cuts that include a higher fat content don’t need it but hey if you’ve cracked the egg why not use it all.
