Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 cup Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 0.5 cup Goat cheese (crumbled)
- 1 cup Arugula (or mixed greens)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Gently mix until evenly combined, but do not overwork the meat.
Divide the seasoned ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Use your thumb to create a small indent in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease with olive oil. Cook the burger patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for 3-4 minutes.
While the patties rest, prepare the blueberry compote. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, sugar, and balsamic vinegar. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
Toast the burger buns on a grill or skillet for 1-2 minutes, or until golden and lightly crispy.
To assemble each burger, spread a spoonful of blueberry compote on the bottom bun, followed by the cooked burger patty. Top with a generous sprinkle of crumbled goat cheese and a handful of arugula or mixed greens. Finish with the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your gourmet Blueberry Burger!
