Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 0.25 cups Cabernet Sauvignon
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves Garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 4 Brioche burger buns
- 4 slices Cheese (such as Havarti or Brie)
- 1 cup Arugula
- 0.25 cups Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Prepared horseradish
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Cabernet Sauvignon, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until just combined. Do not overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties approximately 3/4-inch thick. Use your thumb to make a shallow indentation in the center of each patty (this helps them cook evenly).
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced red onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the brown sugar to the onions and stir well. Continue cooking until the onions are caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the burger patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (160°F internal temperature is recommended for medium). Add a slice of cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the grill to melt the cheese.
Toast the brioche buns lightly on the grill until golden brown, about 1 minute.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and prepared horseradish to create a zesty spread.
To assemble, spread the horseradish mayo on the bottom half of each brioche bun. Top with a handful of arugula, a burger patty, caramelized onions, and the top half of the bun.
Serve your Cabernet Burgers immediately, paired with your favorite side dishes or a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon!
