Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 0.5 lb ground pork
- 0.25 cup white vinegar
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 0.5 tsp ground ginger
- 0.25 tsp ground cloves
- 1.25 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp pepper
- 1 small onion, finely grated
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large eggs
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp whole-grain mustard
- 4 pieces hamburger buns
- 1 cup red cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 small carrot, julienned
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine white vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
Add shredded red cabbage and julienned carrot to the vinegar mixture. Toss well to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to quick pickle.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, grated onion, breadcrumbs, egg, ground ginger, ground cloves, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Mix gently until evenly combined.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties, making a small indentation in the center of each to prevent puffing during cooking.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the burger patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked with an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
While the burgers cook, whisk together sour cream and whole-grain mustard in a small bowl to create the sauce.
Lightly toast the hamburger buns under a broiler or in a toaster.
Assemble the burgers by spreading the mustard-sour cream sauce on the bottom bun, placing a burger patty on top, adding a generous heap of the pickled cabbage-carrot mixture, and finishing with the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Sauerbraten Burgers!
