Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 0.5 pound Ground pork
- 0.25 cup Marsala wine
- 1 medium Shallot, finely minced
- 3 cloves Garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Swiss cheese slices
- 1 cup Arugula
- 0.5 cup Caramelized onions (optional)
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, Marsala wine, minced shallot, minced garlic, chopped thyme, salt, black pepper, breadcrumbs, and beaten egg.
Use your hands to gently mix the ingredients until just combined—do not overmix.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties about ¾ inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the burger patties onto the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side without disturbing them.
Flip the burgers and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for well-done.
In the last minute of cooking, add a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each patty and cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese.
Meanwhile, lightly toast the burger buns under a broiler or on a separate skillet until golden brown.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to create a creamy spread.
To assemble the burgers, spread the mayonnaise-mustard mixture onto the bottom half of each bun.
Place a layer of arugula on top of the spread, followed by the Marsala burger patty with melted Swiss cheese.
Top with caramelized onions (if using) and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes and enjoy the rich, aromatic flavors of these Super Marsala Burgers!
