French Onion Burger

• 份量: Serves 4

食材

1 1/2 pounds Certified Angus Beef ® ground beef, 80% lean

3-4 tablespoons butter, divided

2 medium yellow onions, sliced

1 tablespoon brandy or white wine

1/2 cup chopped fresh thyme

1 tablespoon finely minced shallot

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup finely shredded Gruyère cheese

4 hamburger buns (brioche or potato preferred)

1-2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

步驟

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over low heat; add onions. Simmer 30-45 minutes to caramelize and develop a deep golden color, adding small amounts of water as necessary to prevent burning. Add brandy, simmer and stir until alcohol has cooked off and the flavors combine, 3-5 minutes; set onions aside and keep warm.

In a medium mixing bowl, hand blend thyme and shallots with the ground beef, form into four patties and season both sides with salt and pepper. Refrigerate 10-15 minutes.

Brush cut sides of buns with butter and pan sear or grill to golden brown.

Pan sear or grill burgers 4-5 minutes on one side, flip and top each with caramelized onions and gruyere cheese. Continue to cook another 4-5 minutes until the patty reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
