Made a burger last night. Ground my own beef with my Cuisinart. Cooked in a hot cast iron pan. Maybe I seared too much? Outside was a bit crispy. Touch dry. But had tons of char flavor.

As long as the patty isn’t dry then no such thing as too much sear.

A food processor doesn’t grind meat, it shreds it. The texture must have been… *interesting.*

Idk that I’d use a food processor to “grind” meat, seems like it’d work it too much

I mean to add this to the OP, but this time I do think I over worked the meat too much. I’ve used a food processor before for this, and works out well enough. It certainly can make a difference because it’s still freshly “ground”. Bigger problem here this time was it was a bit more crumbly that I would have liked. I think that might have been a additional part of my issues with the burger beyond what may be a bit too much sear.
I’ve thought about getting a grinder attachment for my Kitchen Aid mixer, but every time I do, I thinks “Meh.. I’ll just keep using the food processor.” Maybe I need to finally bite the bullet on grinder attachment.

“too much sear” just means burnt. Was it burnt? If not then no. But it is possible to overcook a burger without burning it

What pieces of meat did you grind up to make this? Always wanted to make my own ground beef. 10/10 on the look of the finished product!

I find that a slightly dry smash burger is more about fat content of the meat than “too much sear”. Although using the Cuisinart might be a factor here too
