Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Ground beef (80% lean)
- 0.5 cups Bleu cheese crumbles
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 4 pieces Brioche burger buns
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 0.25 cups Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cups Sour cream
- 4 leaves Romaine lettuce
- 1 large Tomato (sliced)
- 1 medium Yellow onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp White wine vinegar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Be careful not to overwork the meat to keep the burgers tender.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions. Flatten each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty using your thumb to ensure even cooking.
Preheat a skillet, grill, or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Just before taking the patties off the heat, evenly distribute bleu cheese crumbles on top of each patty and allow it to melt slightly.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring often, until softened and caramelized. Deglaze the pan with white wine vinegar, stir, and remove from heat.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and sour cream together to create a creamy spread for the buns.
Slice the brioche buns in half and butter each cut side. Toast the buns in a skillet or on the grill until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Build the burgers by spreading the mayo-sour cream mixture on the bottom bun. Add a romaine lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, the burger patty topped with bleu cheese, and a spoonful of caramelized onions.
Top with the other half of the brioche bun and serve immediately.
