Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 fat ratio)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 Yellow onion, sliced
- 4 slices Aged cheddar cheese, sliced
- 4 Brioche burger buns
- 1 cup Arugula
- 1 Tomato, sliced
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- 0.25 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Gently mix with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Form the beef mixture into 4 evenly-sized patties, about 3/4-inch thick. Press a small dimple into the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes until they are soft and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic powder to make the garlic aioli. Set aside.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or skillet. Add the burger patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of aged cheddar on each patty and cover the grill or skillet to melt the cheese.
Toast the brioche buns by spreading each half with a small amount of butter and placing them on the grill or in a clean skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
To assemble the burgers: Spread a generous layer of garlic aioli on the bottom half of each bun. Add a handful of arugula, a tomato slice, the cooked patty with melted cheese, and a scoop of caramelized onions. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your sophisticated Grown Up Hamburger!
