Description
“This is the best ever juicy burger!”
Ingredients
Scale
- Burger
- 2 lbs. ground Angus beef (20 percent fat)
- 4 thick slices sweet onion
- 3 Tbsp. butter, melted
- 4 pats of cold butter
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 sesame seed hamburger buns
- Toppings
- Iceberg lettuce
- Sliced ripe tomatoes
- Sliced dill pickles
- Burger Sauce
- 2 Tbsp. good Mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp. Mustard
- 2 Tbsp. Ketchup
Instructions
- Divide beef into 4 equal portions.
- Form each portion into a round patty, 4 inches across, all with equal thickness.
- Cut a slit into the side of each burger and tuck a pat of butter into the opening. Pinch the slit closed so the meat completely covers the butter.
- Set up the grill for direct cooking and preheat to high.
- When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate.
- Brush each side of the sweet onions with melted butter and salt and pepper.
- Place them on the grill and cook until nicely browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side.
- Carefully remove onions from the grill and set aside.
- Brush one side of the burgers with melted butter and salt and pepper.
- Arrange the burgers, butter side down, on the hot grate and grill until the bottoms are nicely browned, about 5 minutes.
- Brush the top side with melted butter and season with salt and pepper.
- Using a spatula, turn the burgers and grill until they are browned and cooked to taste, about another 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, brush the cut side of the buns with the remaining melted butter and toast them cut side down on the grill during the last 2 minutes the burgers cook.
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard and ketchup. Stir until a pretty peach color emerges. (You can adjust measures to meet your own taste.)
- Put the burgers and onion slices on buns.
- Serve with Burger Sauce and desired toppings.
