Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80% lean)
- 4 medium Shallots, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Yellow mustard
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces Tomato slices
- 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices (optional)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots and 1 minced clove of garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are softened and slightly caramelized. Set aside to cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together yellow mustard, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce. Set the mustard barbecue sauce aside.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, the cooled shallot and garlic mixture, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix with your hands until well combined, but do not overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Use your thumb to create a small indent in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes on per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking if desired.
While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the same skillet, grill pan, or in a toaster oven.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a layer of the mustard barbecue sauce on both the top and bottom buns. Place a lettuce leaf on each bottom bun, followed by a cooked burger patty, a tomato slice, and the top bun.
Serve immediately with extra mustard barbecue sauce on the side for dipping or spreading.
