Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 slices bacon
1 1/2 pounds ground beef, preferably chuck
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Vegetable oil, for the grill
4 crusty buns, split
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, plus more for spreading
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 small bunch frisee, torn

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, turning, until crisp. Drain the bacon on paper towels, reserving 2 tablespoons bacon drippings.
  • Form the beef into four 6-ounce patties, about 3/4 inch thick; press the center of each patty with your thumb to make a 1/2-inch-deep indentation. Season the patties on both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly brush the grill grates with vegetable oil, then grill the patties, indentation-side up, until marked on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until marked and slightly firm, about 3 more minutes for medium doneness. Remove the patties to a plate and let rest 5 minutes. Grill the buns, cut-side down, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the eggs and fry until the yolks are set but still runny, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Whisk the mustard, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the reserved 2 tablespoons bacon drippings and the shallot in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the frisee and toss; season with salt and pepper.
  • Spread the bun bottoms with mustard. Top with the burger patties, bacon, frisee salad and fried eggs. Cover with the bun tops.

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1 small shallot, minced

BISTRO BURGERS



Bistro Burgers image

A few simple moves can elevate a backyard hamburger to steak-house status. Grilled onions, a swipe of Dijon over the patties before grilling, and toasted brioche buns are just a sampling of some of the high-end embellishments you can expect with your burger tonight.

Provided by Lauryn Tyrell

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes     Ground Beef Recipes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons freshly grated horseradish
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground beef (85 percent lean)
4 brioche buns, split
Vegetable oil, for drizzling and grill
1 large sweet onion, such as Vidalia (12 ounces), sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 slices sharp white cheddar
2 beefsteak tomatoes, sliced into thick rounds
Flaky sea salt, such as Jacobsen
Mixed greens, such as watercress and chopped radicchio, and cornichons, for serving

Steps:

  • Stir together mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon mustard, and horseradish. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Form beef into 4 patties, each slightly larger in circumference than buns. Make a small indent in center of each patty with your thumb (to keep them from puffing up on the grill). Cover loosely and refrigerate until ready to cook.
  • Heat grill to medium-high, and place a large straight-sided skillet with a lid nearby. Brush grates with oil. Drizzle onions lightly with oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill, flipping once, until well charred and crisp-tender (they should still maintain a bit of crunch), 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer to skillet, drizzle with Worcestershire sauce, and cover with lid. Cover grill and return to medium-high heat.
  • Generously season indented sides of patties with salt and pepper. Brush with remaining 2 tablespoons mustard. Brush grates with oil. Place patties on grill, indented-sides down, and generously season other sides. Cook until lightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip patties, top each with cheese, and cover grill. Continue to cook, moving occasionally as needed to avoid flare-ups, until cheese has melted and burgers are cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to skillet; cover with lid. Grill buns, cut-sides down, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute.
  • Sprinkle tomatoes with flaky salt. Spread both sides of buns with horseradish mixture, then add patties, onions, and greens. Serve, with salted tomatoes and cornichons alongside.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality ground beef. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your burgers.
  • Don't overmix the meat. Overmixing can make the burgers tough.
  • Season the meat well. Be generous with the salt and pepper, and don't forget to add some garlic powder and onion powder.
  • Form the burgers into patties that are about 1/2-inch thick. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Cook the burgers over medium-high heat. This will help them get a nice crust on the outside while still staying juicy on the inside.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you're cooking multiple burgers, make sure to give them enough space so that they can cook evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the burgers. They should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 165 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the burgers.

Conclusion:

Bistro cheeseburgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following the tips above, you can make the perfect bistro cheeseburger that is sure to impress your friends and family.
