Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup beer (preferably a pale ale or dark beer)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 sliced tomatoes
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into burger patties.
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove from heat and let rest.
While the burgers are cooking, prepare the Welsh rarebit sauce. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously, to form a roux.
Slowly pour in the beer while whisking constantly to create a smooth sauce. Allow the mixture to simmer for 1-2 minutes to cook off the alcohol.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, paprika, and shredded cheddar cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly in a toaster or on a hot skillet for added texture.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a slice of tomato, a cooked beef patty, and a generous drizzle of the Welsh rarebit sauce. Finish with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy these rich, flavorful Welsh Rarebit Burgers!
