Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained and finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 Yellow onion (sliced)
- 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp Brown sugar
- 4 Burger buns (lightly toasted)
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 4 Tomato slices
- 4 Cheese slices (optional, cheddar or provolone)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred doneness. If using cheese, lay a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover with a lid to melt.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the balsamic-glazed onions. In a separate pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and golden.
Stir in the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar with the onions. Cook for 2-3 more minutes until the mixture is glossy and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
Lightly toast the burger buns in a toaster or on the skillet for added flavor and texture.
Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Top with the cooked burger patty, balsamic-glazed onions, a tomato slice, and the top bun. Serve immediately.
