Bison (buffalo) meat is very lean and is a healthier alternative to beef. The Cabernet onions nicely complement the burgers. From Bon Appetit, February 2009.

CABERNET BURGERS

This is the quickest and easiest way I've found to make juicy, yummy burgers. I actually make the wine glaze ahead of time and just keep it in the fridge, that way I can easily make one or two burgers without too much hassle! However, be careful in the amount you use: although the proportions in this recipe are fine, I found they don't scale down exactly, so use a bit less of the glaze if you're just making 1 or 2 burgers (i.e. don't just use one quarter or one half of what the recipe says). Taken from Weber's Way to Grill book.

Time 55m

Yield 4 burgers, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups cabernet sauvignon wine
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef (I use very lean, but I've read that 80% lean is better since the fat adds flavor)
1/4 cup cabernet glaze
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine wine and brown sugar and simmer until reduced to about 1/2 - 3/4 cup (depends how potent you want the wine flavor), about 25-30 minutes. Let cool. This can be made ahead of time, or in a larger batch and stored in a bottle in the fridge.
  • Combine the beef, glaze, salt and pepper and gently mix. The beef should take on a much deeper red shade from the wine.
  • Shape into 4 patties, make sure to make an indent in the center with your thumb or the back of a teaspoon to compensate for the rising while cooking.
  • Grill over direct high heat for about 8-10 minutes per side, turning only once. You can also brush them with some additional glaze while cooking.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ground beef: Look for ground chuck or sirloin with a fat content of 80/20 or 85/15. This will ensure juicy, flavorful burgers.
  • Season the beef liberally: Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of salt and pepper, as well as other spices and herbs like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • Mix the beef gently: Overmixing the beef can make the burgers tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Form the burgers gently: Use your hands to gently shape the beef into patties. Don't press down on the burgers, as this can also make them tough.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat: This will help prevent the burgers from drying out. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare burgers, or 6-7 minutes per side for medium-well burgers.
  • Let the burgers rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the burgers, making them more flavorful and juicy.

Conclusion:

Cabernet burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your burgers are juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. So next time you're looking for a quick and satisfying meal, give cabernet burgers a try!
