Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 teaspoon onion powder
4 brioche or hamburger buns, split
2 cups shredded gruyere cheese (about 6 ounces)
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Dijon mustard, lettuce and potato chips, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until it starts to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt, reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden, 15 more minutes. Add the chicken broth and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce and simmer until the onion is tender and the liquid is almost evaporated, 8 minutes.
  • Preheat the broiler. Mix the beef, onion powder and the remaining 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce in a bowl with your hands. Form into four 3/4-inch-thick patties and place on a broiler pan. Make an indentation in the center of each with your thumb; season the patties with salt. Broil, turning once, 5 minutes.
  • Place the buns cut-side up on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with both cheeses and broil until melted, about 1 minute. Spread mustard on the buns; sandwich with lettuce, the burgers and caramelized onion. Serve with potato chips.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/3 pounds 85% lean ground beef
1 1-ounce envelope onion soup seasoning mix
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon Morton coarse kosher salt
for serving: toasted St Pierre Brioche Burger Buns, white cheddar or cheese of choice, crispy bacon, caramelized onions (below), lettuce, tomato, mustard, ketchup, Dijonnaise (below), etc.
2 large sweet onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon Morton coarse kosher salt
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup high-quality mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, finely chopped or grated
Morton coarse kosher salt & ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Prepare the grill for medium-high direct grilling, 450-500 degrees F. Prep any toppings & condiments as desired (see below).
  • Add the ground beef, onion soup seasoning mix, Worcestershire sauce & kosher salt to a large mixing bowl. Using your hands, mix just until well combined. Be careful not to overmix as it yields a dryer, tougher burger. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Press each portion into a 1-inch thick burger patty. Use your thumb to press a slight indent in the center of each burger patty.
  • Place the burger patties on the grill grates, directly over the flame. Grill 3 minutes per side for medium doneness. If you prefer a less/more done burger, grill for 1 minute less/more. If making a cheeseburger, add the cheese to the burger patties in their last minute of grilling. Toast the St Pierre Brioche Burger Buns while you're at it - see below!
  • Build your burgers as desired. At our house, the toasted St Pierre brioche buns get a quick schmear of Dijonnaise, topped with leafy lettuce, a French onion burger, crispy bacon, & caramelized onions. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
