Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 0.75 cup Beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 pieces Hamburger buns
- 6 pieces Pickle slices (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook for 4–5 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until mostly browned.
Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and continue cooking for another 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion is softened and the beef is fully cooked.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet carefully and return the skillet to medium heat.
Pour the beef broth into the skillet and stir to deglaze the bottom of the pan, scraping up any browned bits of beef for extra flavor.
Stir in brown sugar, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has mostly evaporated but the meat is still moist and flavorful.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if needed with additional salt, pepper, or a splash of vinegar for tanginess.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly, if desired, for extra texture.
Spoon the Maidrites mixture onto the bottom half of each bun. Add pickle slices on top, if using, and cover with the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
