Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 2 large Potatoes (Russet, for fries)
- 4 cups Neutral oil (for frying, such as canola or vegetable oil)
- 1 cup Cheese curds
- 1 cup Prepared beef gravy
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 2 tbsp Butter (optional, for toasting buns)
- 4 leaves Lettuce
- 1 large Tomato (sliced)
- 0.5 medium Yellow onion (sliced into rings)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the fries. Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into thin strips about 1/4-inch wide.
Heat the neutral oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the potato strips in batches for 3-4 minutes until they are soft but not browned. Remove and set aside on paper towels.
Season fries with a pinch of salt, then return to the fryer and fry a second time for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
While the fries cook, divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties. Season both sides of each patty with salt and pepper.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach the desired level of doneness. Remove from heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Optional: Toast the burger buns by spreading a small amount of butter on the cut sides and placing them on a skillet or grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Assemble the poutine topping. Heat the beef gravy in a small saucepan over low heat until warm. Place the cheese curds in a heat-safe bowl and pour the hot gravy over them to slightly melt the curds.
Assemble each burger. Start with the bottom bun, add lettuce and a slice of tomato, then place the cooked burger patty on top. Layer on a generous handful of crispy fries, then spoon the warm gravy and cheese curds mixture over the top.
Finish the burger with a layer of onion rings (raw or sautéed) and cap it with the top bun.
Serve immediately with extra fries on the side, if desired, and enjoy this Canadian classic with a burger twist!
