Atk Old Fashioned Burger Recipes

Steps:

• Make the whiskey-caramelized onions: In a large, high-walled skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they caramelize and turn golden brown, about 45 minutes. Add the whiskey and salt and stir to combine. Remove the pan from the heat and let sit until ready to use.
• Make the roasted orange mustard: Turn the broiler on high.
• Use a sharp knife to remove the peel from the orange, then slice the orange crosswise into ½-inch rounds. Arrange the rounds in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Broil the orange slices until they begin to brown and crisp on the top, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the oranges from the oven and transfer to a large bowl to cool slightly. Use a potato masher to mash the juice from the oranges, and then strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the flesh to extract as much juice as possible. You should have about ¼ cup of roasted orange juice.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, and bitters until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Make the smash burgers: Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
• Divide the ground beef into 8 4-ounce portions, being careful not to work the meat too much.
• In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, and coriander.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until nearly smoking. Pour the olive oil into the hot pan. Place 2 portions of ground beef, or as many as will fit without overcrowding, in the pan and use a flat metal spatula to flatten into patties. Use the back of a wooden spoon to press the spatula more firmly to flatten each patty even more. Season each patty generously with the salt mixture. Once the patties turn golden brown on the bottoms and the edges are crispy, about 2 minutes, flip and continue cooking until the other side is golden brown, about 2 more minutes. Top each patty with 1 slice of American cheese and let melt, about 30 seconds. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining ground beef.
• Assemble the burgers: Place the intact burger buns on a baking sheet. Brush the top of each bun with beaten egg, then sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Transfer to the oven and bake until the egg wash turns golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Open the buns and place ¼ cup of shredded lettuce on each bottom bun, followed by 2 tomato slices, a patty, ¼ cup caramelized onions, and a second patty. Spread 2 tablespoons of the orange mustard over the undersides of the top buns, then place on top of the burgers. Serve with old fashioneds.

Steps:

• Heat broiler. Divide beef into 4 rounds and place each between two layers of plastic wrap. Using a rolling pin, roll beef into 1/4-inch-thick patties. Butter inside of each bun. Place on a baking sheet, buttered side up, and toast under broiler.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over high. Generously season patties on both sides with salt and pepper. Working in batches, cook burgers 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and top each with cheese; cover and cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Place burgers on buns and serve with desired toppings.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, salt and pepper. Place ground beef and bread crumbs into the mixture. With hands or a fork, mix until well blended. Form into 4 patties approximately 3/4 inch thick.
• Place patties on the prepared grill. Cover and cook 6 to 8 minutes per side, or to desired doneness.

Steps:

• Place beef chunks on baking sheet in single layer, leaving 1/2 inch of space around each chunk. Freeze meat until very firm and starting to harden around edges but still pliable, 15 to 25 minutes.
• Place half of meat in food processor and pulse until meat is coarsely ground, 10 to 15 one-second pulses, stopping and redistributing meat around bowl as necessary to ensure beef is evenly ground. Transfer meat to baking sheet, overturning bowl and without directly touching meat. Repeat grinding with remaining meat. Spread meat over sheet and inspect carefully, discarding any long strands of gristle or large chunks of hard meat or fat.
• Gently separate ground meat into 4 equal mounds. Without picking meat up, with your fingers gently shape each mound into loose patty 1/4 inch thick and 4 inches in diameter, leaving edges and surface ragged. Season top of each patty with salt and pepper. Using spatula, flip patties and season other side. Refrigerate while toasting buns.
• Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in heavy-bottomed 12-inch skillet over medium heat until foaming. Add bun tops, cut-wide down, and toast until light golden brown, about 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining butter and bun bottoms. Set buns aside and wipe out skillet with paper towels.
• Return skillet to high heat; add oil and heat until just smoking. Using spatula, flip burgers over and cook for 1 minute. Top each patty with slice of cheese and continue to cook until cheese is melted, about 1 minute longer.
• Transfer patties to bun bottoms and top with onion. Spread 2 teaspoons of burger sauce on each bun top. Cover burgers and serve immediately.
• Classic Burger Sauce: Mix ingredients together (makes 1/4 cup).

Steps:

• 1. Divide beef into 4 mounds, and evenly place on a 12-by-14-inch piece of plastic wrap. Place another piece of plastic on top. Roll into 5 1/2-inch patties, about 1/3 inch thick, with a rolling pin. 2. Heat a griddle or 2 large cast-iron skillets over medium-high. Season both sides of patties with salt and pepper. Cook patties, pressing with a spatula, 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, flip, and top with cheese. Cook 2 minutes. 3. Butter cut sides of rolls, and toast on griddle until edges just start to brown, about 1 minute. 4. Sandwich burgers in rolls with onion, pickle, lettuce, and mustard.
