Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 20 oz / 560 grams Ground Beef (30% Fat)
- 2 Large Yellow Onions
- 4 Slices of American Cheese
- 4 Burger Buns (Potato Rolls or Brioche)
- Salt
- Ketchup and Mustard (optional)
Equipment needed
- Mandoline
Instructions
- Slice the Onions: Peel and finely slice the Onions using a sharp knife or (preferably) a Mandoline then set aside.
- Prepare the Patties: Form the Ground Beef into 4 equal sized 5 oz. balls. Compress them slightly using your hands, moving them from hand to hand.
- Cook the Burgers: Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Once smoking hot, place the Burger in the pan and then liberally pour over ¼ of the sliced Onions. Press down on the Burger using a flat object like a spatula or the back of a frying pan. Make sure you press as much of the Onions into the Burger as possible.
- Brown the Burgers: Scrape any loose Onions back on top of the Burger and press them in slightly. Season well with Salt and cook for 4 minutes until dark brown and crispy on the underside.
- Flip and Add Cheese: Flip the Burger and again fold any loose Onions on top of the Patty. Season again then place Cheese on top. Cook for 2 minutes until the Cheese melts, then place the top of the Burger bun on top.
- Finish Cooking: Cook for 1 more minute then remove it all using a large spatula and place it onto the Burger Bottom (optionally sauced with Ketchup and Mustard) and serve hot.
Notes
- This recipe produces 4 Burgers.
- You will not need to add any Butter or Oil to the pan given the high fat content of the Beef.
- You can cook multiple burgers in one pan but avoid overcrowding it. I recommend cooking 2 at a time.
- Personal preference includes Cheese, Mustard, Ketchup and a couple of Pickle Slices but you can customize toppings as you like.
