Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 Brioche burger buns
- 1 Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 4 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 4 leaves Lettuce
- 1 Tomato, sliced
- 0.25 cup Pickles
- 1 tbsp Oil (for skillet)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
Divide the seasoned beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 1/2-inch thick with a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add the sliced onions and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and caramelized. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
Wipe the skillet clean if necessary and reduce the heat to medium. Add a small drizzle of oil if the skillet looks dry.
Place the burger patties into the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on one side without moving them to develop a crust.
Flip the patties and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty and cover the skillet with a lid or foil to help the cheese melt. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the burgers reach your desired doneness.
While the burgers are cooking, toast the brioche buns by spreading a thin layer of butter on the cut sides and placing them in a separate skillet or on a griddle over medium heat until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers: Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a leaf of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and some pickles.
Place the cooked burger patty with melted cheese on top of the toppings, followed by a spoonful of caramelized onions.
Finish with the top half of the bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your juicy, flavorful Dz Skillet Burger with your favorite side dish!
